New Year's Eve has never been my favorite night, there is so much built up around it. This year I stayed home, made an epic cheese plate and hung out with my old cat. I watched the ball drop and then went to bed shortly after. It was probably the best New Year's Eve I have had in a long time.

I didn't make any resolutions or choose an intention. I created a
mind map, it helped with clarifying my goals. 2017, the year that I make many changes to become the person I want to be.

While I sat on my couch on the 1st, watching tv I realized I was happy but, lonely. I rejoined tinder. I added photos that weren't terrible, I tried to add one that was hilarious that my niece took but, the app is shitty at best and I was unable to do so. Then, it dawned on me a day later that I also rejoined tinder to not focus on the stuff that needs to get done. MY GOALS. MY MIND MAP! Damn my mind trickery....focus...focus.
I know it sounds like and sometimes feels like I am not doing much but...I am. I woke up on the 1st and made a decent breakfast.
Carrot cake oatmeal. I didn't take a picture because it isn't the prettiest food but, it was tasty. The leftovers were even better because the raisins got a little plump, that's the way I like them, just a little bloated.
I've been practicing calligraphy every day for a little while now. I'm trying out inks that I actually got last Christmas. I decided a week or two ago to choose lady quotes to focus on. I feel like I wasn't exposed to great things that women have said throughout history and for every one quote I find by a woman there are dozens more by men. I just want to make them stand out a little more in my mind.

I've also logged 4 miles outside over the past two days out of the
365 mile challenge I am participating in. It doesn't seem like much but, it is for someone who is content chillin' with her cat in bed all day. That's right, I basically am promising myself to be active and outside all year long. Anyone want to try snowshoeing? Cross country skiing? Hiking?
