I decided a good place to start with blogging was to update you on what is happening in my life these days. There is some pretty exciting stuff!
~I am now a day student- which is nice because I will get done a little quicker and since I am on unemployment it is just nice to have a bit more structure to my morning and night routines.
~I finally get to start my volunteering at 2nd chances- it’s a thrift shop that benefits the humane society. I will be there 1 or 2 afternoons a week. I am excited to help out and I am extra excited about the 50% off discount volunteers get on the already cheap stuff!
~My town finally started up a cool community group called “family meeting”. It was actually a coffee shop in our town that came up with it but it is just a discussion group to discuss just about anything- local business, community, world peace, events, music etc. I am excited to get involved!
~I have gone vegan for the month of march. I was vegan for a long time but eat just about anything these days. I just want to detox a bit. I don’t see myself sticking with it in the long term but I can see my eating habits shifting towards a more vegan friendly diet. I will likely continue to eat vegan at home for the most part but allow myself to go out and enjoy a nice steak or cheesy pizza every now and again. I think that is the approach that will really work best for me. For March tho, I am sticking to 100% vegan. I am really enjoying exploring this way of cooking again. I have made some amazing and delicious recipes so far. I am hoping to share a few soon.
~I am going back to church. It is a Unitarian church and very liberal so I think I will fit right in. I am excited to be part of a spiritual community.
~I have been practicing yoga pretty regularly again the past few months and I am loving it!
~I have decided to give up drinking alcohol for awhile (mostly to help out a friend with a drinking problem who is trying to stop and could use the support, but i figure it isn’t a bad idea anyways)
~I have been on a real creativity kick lately- sewing, making collages, making cards etc.
~The weather is finally getting nicer! Lots of rain right now but atleast it’s not snow! It is actually sunny out today! I just can’t wait for long summer afternoon hours of reading in the hammock!
Life is good.
I think that is about it for now. I am really going to try to be more consistent with the blogging. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Life these Days. March 11, 2009
A New Start. March 2, 2009
I have decided to make this blog a little less structured. I have tried and I just can’t commit to the 3 meals a day posting. It feels very confining and just not fun to me. I love food but I also love a lot of other things, so I guess I am just going to be blogging about whatever I want. I am sure there will still be lots of food on here because it is such a huge part of my life, but there will also be lots of other stuff. I feel I can definately be a better blogger when it is left open ended. Hope you enjoy!
