Another day, another year

January 23rd, 2007

So yes, I’ve been letting Dan catch up a bit on posts, but thought it was time to write another one myself.

It’s my birthday today, and although it’s not a significant one, it does tend to make me stop and think what I’ve been doing over the last year, and what I’d like to happen this birthday year.

Over the last year: a lot of the same, in terms of work, home, time with family, travel etc.  Managed to start spending a little more time with friends again.  Another 4 chicken recipes under my belt…etc.  (Not the actual chickens, that would be messy.)

Actually, one main change was in the area of work-life balance. 2005 was really busy; I took time over the last year to use the flexi-time I have, and even used up all my leave allowance for once, which normally doesn’t happen. 

And the coming year?  At the moment, thoughts are rather dominated by finishing the assignments remaining for the counselling course I’m on.  We have one more session left - early March - which includes a practical, plus 4 more written assignments.  It’ll be nice to look forward to getting my evenings and weekends back.

I haven’t really planned much else - but I’m sure there’ll be plenty to be getting on with.  Perhaps it would be good to do more that relates to this category: imagination.  I used to do a lot of creative writing, playing music - the creative skills section of the counselling course gave me some ideas to try out further.   I’ll let you know how I get on.
