I'm not yet at the stage where I can call myself a workaholic. But I see it looming in the future.
At present, I blame it on living in a new town, away from my friends and family, and those other lively diversions.
That excuse is starting to wear thin, so I am making mid-year resolutions to take up old hobbies and other cultural activities. Working so far, so here is the list with progress.
To read more - recently finished Dominion by C J Sansom, and currently reading Sacrées Vacances by Ted Stanger.
To rekindle my love of music - just bought some Khalil Fong songs (oh, nostalgia) and an album by Stromae, who I am starting to love and now love to dance to- another past-time that makes me happy
To travel more - nowhere yet, except for work.
To exercise my mind - studying Chinese once more, despite the class I booked being cancelled
To exercise my body - two exercise classes taken, we'll see how that goes.
To rediscover my inner gourmand - had a gorgeous Afternoon Tea with my best friend at Fortnum & Mason, discovering a new love in their Green Darjeeling tea.
Overall, a promising start, but we'll see what happens over the month. I'm just taking the opportunity to improve myself and keep myself healthy and happy.
This should include taking time for self-reflection, so hopefully I'll be writing here more often, and keeping track of where I'm going and where I've been (physically and metaphorically speaking).
Peace,
X
