found old words

I used to write in a diary regularly. And then not so regularly. And then rarely.
The other day I was going through my diary and, mixed with some nostalgia, experiencing the strange sense of a third person's perspective that comes when one looks back on one's own thought in the past and wonders 'what was I thinking?' in not just a rhetorical way. I thought it would be interesting to share some diary entries when I am struggling for blogging topics. This is the one that fascinated me the most. It took me a while to remember what I was writing about. Anyone want to take any guesses?

"When one is tiny, miniscule in the greater scale of things, what moves immensely fast seems slow. Great distances covered by mighty things appear very close. When one is so tiny, far away things are invisible, out of sight. such is the delusion of reality, of perception."

Wishes, Resolutions, Plans

Today, finally, feels like the day to gear up and get on with it. Holidays, celebrations, rest, laziness, New year's blues and procrastinations are over. Today is the first constructive day in attempting to get back some normality and routine. I have been been in a contemplating mode and have decided on things I need to work on. And the new years just happened to be around.  So I thought I'd start with listing down some of the  wishes, resolutions, plans and hopes I have for this year.

Blog More.
Previously I would keep waiting for something wise and meaningful to spring to mind or something I could label worthwhile. But this meant I wouldn't blog for months and some potential amazing thoughts were never shared. This year I want to be more willing to share the mundane. I'll try to keep it short, don't worry.

Follow my heart and open my mind.
Lately I have been struggling to come up with ideas and feel like me creative box is empty. But I realised that
this is because I am trying to focus so hard with squinted eyes that my vision is narrowed preventing me from seeing whats around and enjoying it. So step 1 to correct this - open my eyes, heart and mind.
 Bringing back the creative sparkle is a healing process. It takes time.

Do more.
So many things I think of doing but don't. For reasons un-understood and probably not worth mentioning. I hope to do more of the things I think to do.

Plan my time better.

Find ways to keep up a creative stimulus. And keep it up.

Use the things I have first before buying new ones.

Exercise. Really.

Try more plants to dye.

Keep a sketchbook and/or journal and actually use them.

Write more.

See the Northern Lights.

Mend and sew and make.

Give myself at least 2 project/challenges and see them through.

Get my driver's license. 

I think that is quite enough for the time being although there are more. Looks like a busy year ahead of me.
Happy 2013!
