Finding myself once again having reached the end of a major task and dealing with the shift change that comes afterward. Inevitably, some self-reflection is in order.
Again, checking in on some of my stated goals for the year:
- Write More - Well, this has just kind of blown chunks. I have easily a half-dozen unfinished blog posts sitting as drafts in various places, not to mention a few more that I started to mentally write but never even committed to the page in any form (treeware or electronic). Goddamit. At least I’m doing a bit better with journal writing. Have nearly filled my current notebook, and it only took me six months, whereas it took me a year-and-a-half to fill the last one.
- Take More Pictures - Faring even worse than the writing. I don’t remember that last time I took my camera out.
- Travel - Thank Dog that I’m at least accomplishing one goal. I did get to New York in February, and will be heading off to London and Paris in the fall (flight is booked - yay). Also hoping to get a trip to Montreal in there somewhere.
I’ve had the week off from work and have been doing a lot of thinking about things, which is where the writing helps. As always, it’s a work in progress…
