New Goal

So, I just found this cool journaling prompt on Pinterest and I want to give it a shot. I don't know if I'm going to actually do this every single day. I might just condense it into a weekly thing. Anyway, I'm going to start with January 1 till today and then go from there.

What is your number one goal this year?
Well...I have a few goals that always make the list. Just like the rest of America, I want to lose weight and get healthy this year. But now that I have the motivation and the means to spend a little bit more on healthier food options, I'm going to do this. When it comes to money, why is it that people always become a little more invested in things? idk...anyway. That isn't my number one goal. Well, maybe it is. I left my list at home so I don't remember what actually made the numero uno spot. I'll keep you updated.

What are you most grateful for?
Today, I am most grateful for a warm bedroom to go home to. Especially on cold frigid mornings like this. As I type this, it is -4 degrees. Overall though, I'm grateful for the experiences I've had in the year 2012. Not all of them were good. I don't want a repeat on a few experiences. But I did a lot of self-introspection this past year. I'm hoping it'll bring a bit more focus in my life.

Are you content?
Uhm...right now? Right this very moment? Eh. I'd rather be in bed right now. My tummy is full so I'm content that way. There's so much in my life that I need to figure out before I add another year to my life. I need to find contentment in the present that's for sure.

What is your best memory last year?
One of my favorites is going to Seaside, Oregon in January last year. I had just applied to Goodwill and had an interview set up for that Friday. I had spent the whole month of December kicking myself in the pants for not being more prepared for life to drop out the bottom of my basket. Anyway, my roommates and I went to Seaside to lift our spirits a bit. It was actually not raining and it was actually warm that day. It was a real treat and I eventually got that job at Goodwill. It's definitely a happy memory.

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]

Sleepiness becomes me

*sigh* I miss the ocean. Not really the Atlantic Ocean, although I have to say that the East Coast has some beautiful beaches. But the Pacific Ocean will always be home to me. I miss it. I miss the hot sand, the coconut scented sunscreen and tanning oil, the salty sea air, the random volleyball games, the hot surfer boys. I miss it all. Its my favorite place where you can watch the sunset while looking out over the water. Its amazing! Sure, it gets hot, but really? When you're there at the beach looking at the water, taking it all in, it doesn't really matter how hot it is. I've always loved the water. It has a calming effect over me like lavender oil in a steamy bath. I wish I could just be a beach bum for the rest of my life. I'd take photos and sell them to support my needs. Kind of like what Thoreau did at Walden Pond. I really only need the simple things in life and the beach and ocean. I could get along without my phone and definitely without my alarm clock. Just ...

Hooray for Holi!

My friend Kim and I will be going to celebrate Holi with our fellow Hindus today. I'm not sure if half the people going today actually know what Holi is except for the fact that it is fun. Go to this link and learn about Holi! *Pictures will be forthcoming!* **ETA: So, there was a HUGE accident on the freeway on the way to Spanish Fork yesterday and being the impatient driver that I am, decided to go around the accident. We went through Springville and Mapleton to avoid the accident. Well, not knowing what exit we were at, we weren't sure where we were and completely missed the festival. I was a little bummed. Well, a lot bummed. Kim and I went up the Spanish Fork Canyon instead to a town that was flooded years ago. Hopefully Kim won't hate me forever for missing the festival...
