This
New Year is flying by. Time to take
stock of what I’ve learned over the last twenty five days and begin to consider
what my goals for next month will be.
When
I challenged myself to write a blog a day, I thought that it would become one
of those automated tasks, something that I just did without any real
planning. Silly I know, coming from the
girl who writes lists for everyone, and whose list often says to check the list. In this month, I’ve
learned so much about what it really takes to write something that is fit for
consumption day in and out. It takes …
wait for it … time. Like, a lot of time.
Not
that I’m complaining. I love lab sitting
and I love tapping my fingers on these keys, exploring new ways in which I can
allow my voice to be heard. But, it
really does take more forethought than I initially suspected. And, while I love time like I love planning a
macro-fitting meal, I realize that in order for this to sustain over the course
of the year, I’m going to need to plan a little bit better.
So,
this month, I’ve focused on time and the ways in which time affects and effects
my life. Watching clocks change has long
been a great pleasure of mine because it’s as if I am able to actually capture
the moment that I see passing before me.
Much the same is the blog. I’m
capturing the moments that mean something, that are worthwhile, that are in
accordance with the way I see fit to spend my time.
I’ve
just returned from a birthday trip to NYC and it was epic! I have so much to write about it, but for
now, I’ll leave it at this. The time it
took Efed to plan her surprise was and is amazing. In the truest, most literal sense of the
word. I am amazed that she did what she
did for my birthday, and even more overjoyed that she saw it fitting to spend
her time in such a way. I am feeling
quite blessed and very loved. I’ll write
about my trip later. Now, I need to
sleep. A weekend in the city is enough
to make anyone’s brain a little fuzzy.
