Well, there are a couple of things that will be new or will change in 2013.
First I intend to lead a more active lifestyle. For the past couple of month I've become somewhat of a couch potato. Yes, it has partially to do with the rather unfriendly weather of winter, the fact that I'm still trying to get my place the way I want it to and the fact, that being a Main Accountant means a lot of responsibility and added stress.
But beginning in 2013 I will try to get out with Daisy for short hikes almost every weekend. She is still doing very well for her age and really has tons of fun when we're out in nature hiking. I've also joined the local chapter of a mountaineering association for the added benefits when you're hiking the the local foothills and midlevel mountains. Getting back into hiking will be beneficial for Daisy and I.
I hope that in the next 4 month or so I will be done with having the remodel of my bedroom and the entrance way done. Then my apartment is pretty much set up in a way I want it to be. Of course there will always be some things that I will want to change, but that's just part of living.
In the second half of 2013 I will be taking more classes and slowly prepare for my exam in tax law. Originally I had planned on starting classes right after XMAS, but with year-end tax work coming up at the end of March I didn't think that would have been a smart move.
A couple of month ago it dawned on me that some of my friendships might actually be one-way streets, instead of being two-way streets. But I wasn't entirely sure if that is based on actual facts or of that was purely a subjective felling. Usually I'm the one who makes the time and the effort to do something...and that was really starting to get on my nerve. That's why I wanted to test the hypothesis. I just stopped doing what I was usually doing, leaned back and watched what was about to unfold. That what happened next was actually...nothing. Apparently certain people just don't want to put in the effort to pick up the phone and set up a time to get together and do something. Turns out my felling was pretty accurate. I'm neither angry nor hurt...but it's somewhat disappointing. But it is what it is, and there's nothing you can do about it.
I'm definitely not going back to what I used to do. That's just not something that's gonna happen. If certain people what to still be part of my life, well then they will have to make the necessary effort...because I'm not gonna do that anymore.
