I may not really want to greet the new year with open arms, but at the very least I’ll acknowledge that it’s here. Today, I plan on doing some domestic stuff that I’ve been meaning to do for a long time now. I need to make a serious effort to de-clutter because I sort of have the feeling that my environment is sort of contributing to me feeling stuck.
Aside from organizing my life, I can say that I’ve already done something to represent a maintenance of a more active lifestyle. Last year, I took up running and I plan on carrying that with me. Yesterday I participated in the Resolution Run which is a 5K race. As the name implies, the run is meant to be a resolution to live a healthier life in the new year. The turn out was great: people were happy to be there. The route was really hilly and the sidewalks were icy. It was challenging! Ooh, I felt so slow. I actually came in a few minutes later than my fastest 5K time in the past, but frankly, it didn’t matter too much. On a day like yesterday it would have been so easy for me to just stay home and do nothing, but I was out there with a hundred other like-minded individuals, sweating away out in the cold just for fun. It was great.
Hmm…
Maybe this is just representative of who I am. Instead of ushering in the new year with festivities and merry-making, I’m facing it head on with a sense of duty and purpose. That’s certainly putting a positive spin on it, isn’t it?
