When I Say Go

This year has been a crazy roller coaster for me. And to say that only two months into 2010 is a testament to how rough it's been, emotionally for me. To be honest, I feel like the New Year hasn't even set in yet, because it's just been so tumultuous and draining. But I'm feeling quieter now. I feel like things are finally settling into place for me. I feel as though I have passed the hardest part, and now all I have to do is set my sights and press on.

So, in honor of my new blog, I'm going to try and define what I hope 2010 looks like for me. I know, bit late, but I feel the need to put it down, suffer through it for my sake.

I've been trying to take up new hobbies every couple of weeks since January. Since the beginning of 2010 I've taken up knitting, photography, painting, yoga, and now blogging. These are all things I've wanted to do, talked about doing, and considered taking up for a long time, and there was always some reason not too. I suppose I just got tired of waiting for the perfect time for things to happen. So I promised myself that I was going to start doing the things I wanted to do and stop waiting. And now I'm starting to see that the only thing stopping me from doing all these things sooner was myself.

So...I want this year to be a year of firsts. It already has been. I want it to be a year of new adventures, people, experiences, and opportunities. In spite of everything thats happened already, I'm still incredibly positive about 2010 and whats ahead for me. I have learned so much about myself and what I want in the last few months, and I hope to continue learning. This blog is a part of that. What I hope becomes a journal of this year and the ones to follow. My life as it develops through these changes. My thoughts, photos, personal style, culinary creations, goals. A diary for everyone to see. Oh, we are a generation of exhibitionists.

So, Cheers! Belatedly, to 2010.
