Can’t go back, can’t go forward. That about sums up my life situation right now. And even though I’ve probably never felt so ungrounded, I feel strangely at peace. I am my own woman. Speaking of books, I recommend Beatrice and Virgil.
In no particular order, here are some things I plan to do this year (I have a 100% track record of writing stuff down and then making it happen):
1. Move out
2. Learn Italian
3. Sell some paintings from some funky dive cafe
4. Get that receptionist job in Hawthorn
5. Study horticulture
6. Chill out
7. Learn belly dancing from a new teacher
8. Learn a martial art
Yeah, that’s a good list right there.
Sheri, what are some things you wish to do this year? I have a feeling you’ll be the only one who reads this one …
If any others do, hope you’re all doing well! In a most peculiar place. Let me know what you’re doing? Or don’t. Whatever floats your boat!
Love from Suzy 
P.S. I’ve deferred nursing for a year, maybe forever. Hopefully forever. Ain’t I a li’l stinker?
P.P.S. I’m most into passion fruit yogurt with celery and crimson grapes as a snack right now. It’s very refreshing. Tick. Ticks. I have ticks. Refreshing also as usually I have fleas.
hey Suz,
Wellll… I’ve got a number of things I want, or should I say need to do before the year is out. None of them are very fun or creative like yours, they’re all boring, but unfortunately, necessary in order for me to move on to the next phase of my life. Mostly I have to get my finances in order. They’ve taken a pretty severe beating over the past six months in particular.
I also get that whole limbo feeling. It was satiated for the duration mom was sick, because I felt a very strong and profound sense of being exactly where I should be. Now I sort-of feel a bit lost, whereas when she was here, particularly during those last few months, I felt needed. And now I feel… well…. not needed. So I’m back to doing my own thing and trying to figure out a plan for the next few months that includes a range of short & long-term goals. Right now it’s all about earning money and trying to get out of debt so I can starting building up a comfortable savings. I’d like to do some travelling and some writing during the summer and second half of the year. We’ll see how she goes.
I like the variety of your goals, and I think they’re all well within your reach. I am glad you are painting more, although I hope you don’t decide to give up nursing entirely. I’m glad you’re feeling at peace with your decisions though, so I’m sure you’ll do what’s best for you.
Keep up your blogs, I really enjoy reading them and it’s a great way of keeping in touch! heart you.
