I am in serious need of some changes in my life.
Things I have planned so far:
* Learning a new sport (i.e. golf, inspired by my friend Michelle at work and nudged along by Jon Wing)
* Quitting at Vera. I haven't decided when exactly but I know it needs to happen.
* Making a budget and sticking to it (on my list of things to do before I turn 25)
* Seeking help. I'm depressed and I am trying to deal with it. Hopefully this is the number one thing that turns my life around this summer.
* Changing my eating habits. I'm intrigued by the Whole 30 which you can read about here at the official website and here at a blog I read and love. I definitely think I could stick to this diet.
* Running. I will start this summer. I'm determined (even though I missed the sign up for the Color Run this summer- I'll just be more prepared for next year).
* Finding something to believe in. I think my lack of faith is contributing to my depression. Today I woke up and decided to sponsor a child (after reading my favorite blog the night before). Her name is Cherry Mae. I'm sure I'll write about her more as I get to know her and I'll share a picture when I get it in the mail. I decided that if Cherry Mae has spiritual guidance in the Philippines (I think that's where she is...), I sure can find it here.
* Continuing to clean out my room. I have so much crap. I just stuffed two bags full of clothes to donate and my closet is still stuffed to the brim. I have a shelf of books I will probably never read again. I have drawers full of junk. I just need to throw everything out and then stop buying things to replace it all.
* Learning Spanish (for medical professionals) and finding some way to apply it to my life on a regular basis. We have Spanish-speaking patients come in to the clinic on occasion but I want to immerse myself in a situation regularly where I can use what I learn this summer so I don't immediately forget everything.
* Going on a week long adventure. I would like to say that the experience will be worth the expense but it is still rather expensive... but totally worth it if you ask me. Its still a work in progress/surprise.
