Day 1: hopes, dreams, and plans for the next 365 days with a picture of yourself
For the next 365 days, I plan to keep 'Try It' as my Mantra. I hope to be able to shed my natural reservation against new and unknown things. I have a vivid imagination, a strong sense of self-preservation and am completely risk-averse. All this makes me naturally reluctant to accept unknown challenges head-on. Even though, I have led an extremely enjoyable and content life, I want to try out new activities and explore new avenues of fun.
My dream for the next year is to write a post a day and keep at it. I like to write but I want to write worthy lines. I hope to keep at this task diligently and not lose steam midway or even after the first week. That brings me to one change that I would like to see in myself somewhere in the future. I have a habit of taking on too many things at the same time and this leads me to drop a lot of them half-done or finish them but not to my satisfaction. I am talking here of all my hobbies except reading - but I suspect it has a lot to do with my high reading speed. I want to change that. By writing a post every day, I will know that yes, I can stick to something and see it through the finish.
One more dream is to have a collection of 50 essays that can be deemed worthy of publishing. Not that I aspire to be a writer. But I just wish to improve my writing skills and my flair for expressing my thoughts via the written word.
Hopefully I'll join college this year. That is one more aspiration that I am working towards.
I am learning how to cook well. I'm taking baby steps into the world of culinary arts. Up until now, it's been a roller coaster ride. Worse, of course, for Hubbyji. He has always been a discerning eater, eh likes his meals cooked just so. And he himself is a marvellous cook. (His ambition at one time was to become a chef, but gave it up due to his vegetarian lifestyle.) But he has been so patient and accomodating of my errant cooking that just for him, bless his soul; I want to learn faster and become a fairly decent cook.
Another plan for the year ahead is to keep up my habit of hitting the gym. I hate gym routines but thanks, to the love handles threatening to sneak up on me and my hereditary composition, I need to remain fit. I hope I have it in me to excercise daily and stay focussed. After all, the awesome gym facilities in our apartment are FREE! I've appealed to the bargaining, economist in me to stay committed to this cause.
Here's to dreams, hopes and plans and may they all come true!
