New Beginnings

Today was a rare Monday in which I didn't work. And it was amazing. I still went to classes and ran errands, but I was able to go for an actual run! at the gym and eat dinner before 6:30 p.m. (Which is rare when I usually get off at 6 p.m.) My body actually let me run and my knee doesn't hate me. I think that it's time to "run" with it, so to speak, and start running again. It's been a long time. My soul has missed it. I'm ready to put it back on my life schedule again. I think I've been living in a funk for awhile, but I'm feeling like the funk is leaving.

My life in WA feels more settled. I'm feeling better about things. I turned in my major declaration at school today. So hopefully by the end of this week, I'll be an official Psychology major. Yay!! It's been an amazing day. I didn't get as much studying done for my exam tomorrow, but such is life. I had a great day doing things that needed to be done and taking actual time for me!

I'm tired, but the day well spent kind of tired, not the life's beating me down tired of late. I want 2010 to be a year of New Beginnings, and I think it's going to be just that. I'm looking forward to it. It's February, and it's a beautiful thing.

It may be late, but I'm finally ready to make some definite goals for myself.
Goals for 2010...
-See Amanda and Hailey in Nashville
-Start and keep a running/workout schedule
-Write more
-Continue with the Book Club my roommates and I started and read for myself as well
-Do crafty things more often (make cards, oil pastels, maybe even paint)
-Spend more time in places in Bellingham that I love
-Allow myself to relax more

I'm sure there are more, but these seem to encompass more things that I want to make a more permanent part of my life.
