Patience because I have very little and seem to be getting worse as time goes on.
 
Hmm.

My presents at Christmas have me thinking that perhaps I should be spending a wee bit more time doing things I like to do.

I work and I'm a mum and that's pretty much all I do these days. I cook and clean and spend time with my better half and our beautiful daughter. But I don't really do anything for me. Hobbies and such. I've kind of, forgotten myself. A few years ago when I was childless and hopping from bed to bed I would drink. I don't even do that anymore. I don't really buy myself anything. I buy things for the house. I have a new house and a new bed and new sheets. New dining table. New outdoor furniture. A nice gravy jug.

I have money, I'm just... Boring. I'm boring. I think I need to be less boring.
 
I would like to get back to being very organized. Also, I would like to do more dev.

I would also send letters and such in a more timely fashion. Also get unpacked and my studio functional.
 
What is it you like doing?

I'm pretty good at everything. I like to cook. I love the beach and the ocean. Cuddles. Music. Good company. Riding my bike. Reading. I enjoy a laugh. The outdoors. Gardening.

I like lots of things.

ETA: I do enjoy all of the above on a regular basis. That stuff is all part of my life as a working mum, but my family feels as though I need to do something extra just for me. They're right. I'll figure it out.

Wow, this is quite a question.


Honestly, I'm not sure. I guess I'd like to be a better housekeeper. I'd also like to continue to take care of my mental health. I do a pretty good job already, it is very important to me to take care of how I handle life stressors. I also want to continue to count my blessings every single day and enjoy life to it's fullest.
 
I used to hustle more in this city back in the day in my late teens and through my twenties, put the nose to the grindstone like every day was my last, starting from the bottom, did much legwork. Of course, many things didn't exist then as they do now, but you still live and do within the era you exist in.

Things have changed now here since those earlier days, a literal sea change. The trench between the haves and have-nots is super-wide and in between those extremes are many people, doing more maintaining than living. I've been in a cruise state for a while now and I need more. In order to get beyond the just maintaining, I've gotta step my game up, revisit that former mindset and get back to that hustle vibe I had in my early years of bitter struggle.

Streamline. Polish. Reinvent. Remix. Rebalance.
