New Year, New me .....

 lol .. yeah nope.  Hate to break it to you, what you see is what you get.  Not sure if that is a good thing or not.  But you have been warned.  Life is too short to be any one else but you.  I think last year was proof of that.

Anyway after last years mess.  I think I will go with the flow a bit more on my goals/resolutions for the year.  I see alot of people saying, they are going to take each day as it comes.  That they what to take more time for themselves.   Sounds good to me.  I know I stretch myself too thin most days and don't leave anything for me.  That is why I like being online, doing things that interest me.  These things are just for me, no one else. 

So with that in mind I want to find a few minutes each day to pop on here and post something.  Anything even if it is just to vent about things that are going on with me.  

I really need to get out of my comfort zone that I have been living in for way too long. I feel like I have gotten into a rut.  Of course I decided to do this when you really can't do much socializing well at least in person anyway.  So that is why I want to put more of me out there.  I tend to keep things to myself which most of the time isn't a good thing.  But then I think why would anyone be interested in what I have to say and so I don't. 

I have other interests out side of being online so I am going to try and do more of that as well, reading ( I have a blog for reviews that I am terrible of keeping up to date), photography ( I have a blog for that as well).  I like to walk, but not in the winter.  I hate the cold well it is more like once I get cold I am not fit to be around. lol I like doing puzzles, regular and 3d.  I have a few activity books that I like to do as well. 

Anyway, the jury is still out for me if this year is going to be better then the last.  We will see I guess. 

Resolutions .......

Not sure if I am going to make any to be honest.  Never seem to make it past the first week or two and they are forgotten.  Have thought of a couple I would love to do like :

The mason jar - you spend the year filling it with hand written memory notes, then at the end of the year you take them out and read them.

Take a photo a day -  it is just what you think, take a pic a day and post it.  Only thing with that one is you really need to be a person that goes somewhere everyday.  Maybe it can be modified to post a pic a day and when I do go out stock up on some pics to get me through the days I don't go out.  Or some variation.

Exercise -  would love to get back to the gym, but without a car to get there and it being winter, pretty hard to do.  I know, excuses.   But it just isn't fun waiting in the freezing cold for the bus.  Maybe I need a gym buddy with a car. lol  I do have a treadmill at the house so I am defiantly getting back at that.  It is something at least.

Eating better -  that is a given, which I tend to do for the most part everyday.  I find if I get to restrictive I am miserable and I fail.  So I watch my portions on those things that aren't as good for me. 

Read now -  I have a challenge on Goodreads to read 52 books this year.  I made my goal last year but there was more comics in the list then books.  So not sure if that was a fail or not.  But reading is reading.  Finding quiet time is hard most times.

Have fun -  whether that be putting a puzzle together or a Lego.  Going for a walk, once the winter is over, of course.  Watching tv, listening to music, playing a game.  What ever it may be just do it.

Well as this list gets longer, I guess I will be making some resolutions after all.  Or maybe I should just take the pressure off and do the best I can each day.  Take each day as they come and make them the best day for me.  Lets see what happens.
