off with a bang?
It's only 11 days into the year and already I feel like this is going to be one of my busiest years yet. Maybe it's just because it's getting to be special time but for as fast as the past 3-4 days have gone by they also brought with them this weird feeling. I can't really explain it except to say I seem to have this sense of anxiousness. I think over the past few months I've done a good job of 'keeping my cool' and trying to live more for the moment. My mantra for this year (and all subsequent years) was for me not taking things too seriously and just being a better person - a more spiritual person - in general. Take care of me.
Taking care of myself more means doing more things for me. This includes:
-2 classes (started yesterday, online)
-Pilates (starting on Monday) - Capoeira again in Feb.
-Snowboarding (picked up my pass and boarded on Sat)
-KP (practices 2x per week)
-Teaching Sunday school (even though it's only once a month, this one should be interesting, haha)
-Resonance (choir festival I am helping to organize)
-Reading more (...than my textbooks! Almost finished The Purpose Driven Life, and just got a new one today, Dream Jungle by Jessica Hagedorn, I am so excited to read it! - thanks m&m)
-NYC and my beloved Tdot in Feb - saving up for that
-Saving up money in general
I had to write this list down because I needed to list for myself all the things that occupy my life. Not to mention I have 2 wedding this year (1 of which I am bridesmaid for - that is now #4 and counting). Now having written it all I see why I am anxious.
Am I taking on too much? All of the above things are things I want to do. Giving up even one would be difficult. But it's also difficult to try and find a balance.
And hello - where in all of this am I going to have time to date!??!!!
All of this culminating into my inauguration into the dirty thirties in September. I am SO going to have a party for this one.
I'm anxious just writing this. And I only had 1 cup of coffee this morning.
