So, it's 2009 and I'm deciding again, to make this a year for ME. The original premise back in 2007 was to have a year of indulgence while living in Europe. Well, I'm still living in Europe and the idea of living independently and indulging in myself and my interests is still alive and kicking. This year, I've committed to taking much better care of myself.
I've hired a personal trainer.
I'm concentrating more disciplined time to my photography and to my writing.
I'm planning lots of travel with my best girl friends.
I'm committing to learning something totally new each week.
So far, I've been doing quite well on all four of these initiatives. I'm so so so sore from my Sunday workout. I've just completed my first photography book (waiting for it be sent to me in the mail to see if it's ready to publish). I'm off to Barcelona this weekend with Maria, and then Argentina next week for 10 days. And I am learning so much about the ads side of the business at work because I've transitioned into a new role.
With so much going on, I find myself completely exhausted by 10pm each night. It feels like I've lived to my capacity each day. It feels great. Whereas last year, I made it a goal to be out, running around in London almost every single night (lots of restaurants, bars, alcohol), this year is turning out to be much more mellow. We cook dinner in. We go for walks in the neighbourhood. We enjoy grocery shopping down the street. It's a very content and happy life, with random bits of crazy travel sprinkled on top!
