hello again
A few days ago I hung out with my motorcycle friend (#1) for the first time in two years! It does not feel like it has been that long! I really thought he would have never wanted to talk to me again since, like so many of my other friends, I’ve hardly communicated with him at all in those two years, but thankfully he was understanding and forgave me for being so distant. We hiked up a nearby mountain for the first time ever, crossing another thing off my bucket list (both my seasonal bucket list and my main one) :D The autumn leaves were at their peak, and the weather was warm, clear, and sunny. It was so perfect! I haven’t felt so alive since my trip to Europe in the fall of 2018, right before my life took the sharp turn that has left me picking up the pieces until now. Wow, am I ever out of shape though! I kept trying to remind myself that I can’t really expect any less after surgery, health issues, and all the inactivity that comes along with that. ...not to mention the pandemic going on, which has been keeping me away from so many of my active hobbies (some more directly than others).
I’d like to incorporate more outside activities into my life again. I think it’s good for the mind, body and soul to spend time being active and outside. I feel like I can finally start doing more things that I used to do without getting overwhelmed. ...but maybe I’m just being optimistic, lol. The routine that I set up for myself includes 30min outside every day regardless of the weather (inspired by David Suzuki’s 30x30 Nature Challenge, now called the One Nature Challenge). I haven’t been sticking to my routine, but I’d like to try again. If I can stick to it, I think my life will be better.
I’ve so often heard that making the right small choices consistently on a day to day basis is what results in the big positive life changes that mean the difference between living the desired life vs the uninspired life. I wholeheartedly believe that this is absolutely true, which is why I think I should make my routine more of a priority than I have been. It seems small and insignificant, but I think it has so much potential.
Well I’m going to end things there because I have a lot to do, and I have already spent a lot of time writing this. I’m planning to update next week, so I guess we’ll see if I end up sticking to my routine or not. Tomorrow is a new day and a new week, so I’m planning to start then.
‘till then :)
Emotionally: a-okay
Spiritually: good, but I just remembered that I forgot to meditate today :O
Physically: ankle’s a bit sore, but pretty good otherwise. ...maybe a bit tired
Color: I green today (I chirp with joy like a cricket song)
Last week’s goal: Success! I got two pieces of snail mail completed :)
This week’s goal: Stick to my routine
PS: the arm dude’s name is: “leaf”
