A New Year, Another New Hobby

I'm a life-long hobbyist. I love learning/experiencing new things. 

  • acoustic guitar (learned to play "Blackbird")
  • bingo (won $100)
  • hula hooping 
  • kenken
  • knitting (made a few scarves; have an unfinished blanket somewhere)
  • running (finished 3 marathons, 1 half marathon, dozens of 10Ks)
  • rock climbing
  • sky diving (jumped out of plane once)
  • swing dancing
  • yoga 

This year, I will learn to play bridge.  

FOMO

Infomania. I suffer from it. I'm sure you do too. Will you join me for the "infomagical challenge" next week? Sign up.

Sorry, not sorry

Note to self: stay away from passive speech, especially saying "sorry" so much. It's become second nature that I don't even realize I do this, too.

Konmari it

Tidy up for the new year to bring prosperity and good fortune. This involves decluttering everything that doesn't spark joy. Let the purge begin!

Happy new year. Hope 2016 brings profound prosperity and happiness to you and yours. 2015 was a turning point in my life. A milestone that was a catalyst for change. I'm feeling recharged and rejuvenated to start off the new year. -sy
