New Years etc.

I am not doing very well with this whole post more often thing. It was a new years resolution to post more and to write in my diary more. Maybe I just need to get in the habit. I also need to work on being less intimidated by Shashi's blog. No one can equal her ability to write on anything and make it interesting.

I think my life needs both more reflection and dreaming. I am getting all caught up in the cycle of chores in life. I am accomplishing nothing but tiny goals right now, nothing long term. For example I am happy when I manage to do laundry and get it all folded and put away. But there is nothing really long term about that. What happened to my volunteering? Where is my career research? I miss looking forward to things. Looking forward to accomplishing something big. In school you could always look forward to the end of the year, and past that graduation. I had a goal then. Now it seems I am living for nothing in particular. Don't get me wrong I love living, never known anything else really, but one cannot live for the two week sheet washing rotation (on the other weeks I wash white clothes).

I know the feeling. Coasting is boring. Fun but...you know you need to move forward eventually. Once I felt settled in TO, all the volunteer-y things I was interested in wanted a year commitment that I couldn't promise. I, too, need to look toward the future more.

I LOVE reading your blog, you're much better about it than me. I always mean to, but it doesn't happen.

omg i am so excited to be mentioned. pshhht, i am not intimidating. just inclined to procrastination. i am intimidated by your laundry schedule. also i am glad you are blogging more and i know exactly what you mean about looking forward to something, i mean even on a weekly level, i feel like i need an event to live for.
