the last year of the 30s
28th April 2016
Hi World,
I turned 39 today…my last year in the 30s before I step into
official middle age. Honestly life has been feeling pretty blasé for some time.
I have been in hold-on-to-status-quo-mode' for a while now and let life take its
own route to wherever it’s going.
By chance I ordered a pair of prescription glasses and they
got delivered yesterday and I ended up wearing the new glasses today. The
bright clear vision coupled with the fact that it is my birthday makes me feel
rejuvenated. It feels like a veil has been removed and I am seeing the world
anew.
Perhaps it is time again to take hold of the reins and give
a good tug. Life ought to spring back into some action and motivation.
While everything could do with a new coat of paint
figuratively and perhaps literally as well, I am picking up three areas in
which I want to make a marked difference in the coming one year.
Health: I am
obese and need to lose weight like now. So the challenge is to achieve my ideal
body weight of 55 kgs by my birthday next year. This is going to be the
toughest cause my gluttony and sloth are both enormous.
Wealth: I need to
be in control of my finances and need to stop hurtling from one expense to
another. By next year I should be able to have no pending bills anywhere and
some surplus cash as well.
Balance: while I
have a few strengths my biggest weakness is my inability to balance things and
be a little detached from everything. So now that’s the focus area, empathize
but don’t get sucked in.
This could have been a ‘in my heart’ sort of wish, I am
putting it up on the blog hoping that ever so often I will revisit this post
and my spirit if it sags will find energy here. Also I will live in fear that
one of the readers might poke me with a reminder ;)
So to 39 then.
Cheers!
Pinku
