While 2018 didn’t turn out to be the year of creation and creativity that I expected it to be, it did turn out to be a year of surprises.
I didn’t exactly learn how to sew or watercolor paint, but I learned so many other things. After four months of yoga classes, I learned how to breathe. I learned how to create a feeling of peace when everything around me is chaotic.
I created this new hobby and lifestyle out of consistency. I learned to go easy on myself and not to force anything that wasn’t meant to be.
I started off strong on here in early 2018, but as we started to travel more, I started to write less. It was nice, to be honest… I felt more like I was living in the moment instead of trying to document the happenings.
I ran two 5ks, a 5 miler, and a 10k. Barely documented a thing beyond one small obligatory Instagram post.
We visited Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Napa, California; Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington. Nashville, Tennessee; Asheville, North Carolina. I forgot to even bring my camera for four of those states.
… and I don’t regret it.
It took me a long time to think about what I want 2019 to bring.
So far the agenda for 2019 will include a wedding (we’re finally going to tie the knot!), more travel (tbd), and much more yoga. I want to give #cook90 a shot again, it was pretty fun last January… even if I didn’t totally finish it out.
2019 will be the first year having K home every day since we moved in together back in 2014; he finished law school in May, took the bar in July, and found out he passed in October… so it’ll be great to see more of him outside of the summertime.
In 2019 I’d like to start writing on here again, after taking such a long break it doesn’t feel quite as forced anymore.
So I guess that for 2019, I’m going to choose the word “flow”. I want to go with the flow and embrace life as it comes.
Hopefully maybe you’ll flow with me too. :)
