Not to get overly philosophical here, but it really seems that often the things that hurt the worst in your life, seem to produce a best version of you. When you neglect to use this as an opportunity, to fix yourself in your most vulnerable state, and when you have all the time to self reflect, you are doing everyone a disservice. This is the time, to take what the past has shown you, look at the details of your life and change them. We all make mistakes, but the worst mistake I could every possibly make is re-making the same mistakes. I have learned a lot through some of the recent events in my life on the person I was and the person I want to be. In saying all this, the biggest thing I was neglecting in my life is, well...my life. So back to the things that I always loved, always wanted to do and for some reason forgot to do. And so the list begins.

1. Trapeze classes-This is something I have always wanted to do but never really took the leap (no pun intended). I have signed up for my first class on January 27th.
2. Learn Spanish-This is sort of necessary living in LA.
3. Learn how to play the drums- As a kid I had played quite a bit and the older I got it came and went in my life. I always loved playing but never took the time to do it. Lessons begin next week.
4. Take more pictures- Not necessarily going out and taking pictures, but just taking more when the moment calls for it. I seem to have amazing stories with no physical evidence from a picture.
5. Save Money!-I say that with excitement because I actually love saving money but can't seem to make enough to save. Haha. This one is the big one for 2010 that has already begun.
6. Finish Children story-I have a great start to a children's story that I have been putting off for a few months now. I give myself 6 months to finish it and send it out.

And to start off on the right note, below is my first attempt at #4. "Everytime the wind blows/The butt shows"
