January recap

~ ~

http://www.nochicsherlock.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/january-recap.jpg


The first month of 2015 is behind us. 30+ days went by in a flash. I did so much, but I know I could`ve done much more. At the end of 2014 I was writing up my goals, resolutions and plans for 2015, for the first months to catch the momentum so my year would have a solid start for great (new) adventures. My resolution was to try whatever opportunity life gave me, so I did. More or less. One of my resolutions, plans and milestones was to have a recap at the end of each month and evaluate the month passed. So, this is my first and grand January recap.


In January I had 8 posts, less than last years 13, but more than in December 2014. The numbers are not really the reason I post, but keep in mind that, like it or not, we people do love numbers. In all the shapes and sizes, but that does not mean we don`t care about quality as well. For me, if it were all about the numbers I would have given up on blogging a long time ago. And with that in mind, I know I should post more, but resistance sometimes gets the best of me. So I post when I feel like it. I struggle sometimes with themes and subjects of my posts, and I try to avoid posting for sake of posting. All in all, I am OK with the way the year started, blog wise. And here`s to improvement!

Of all other plans and ideas to check of my 2015 resolution list, I checked the "go back to sketching" one. I even added some water coloring.

I upped my game on Instagram, took more photos, kept my 5 minute journal at OK level. I practice gratefulness and intention every day, and recognize signs of opportunity one by one.

Eating healthier after holiday craze is also on fast track to success. A lot of veggies and less and less crap. Eating fast food is (again) becoming unappealing for me more each day and I am so happy about it since I am such a junkie. Or, was. Yay!

january outfitsSome January outfits that made grey, gloomy rainy days a bit brighter and happier. Although I was at work only for 7.5 days before sick leave was reinforced and PJs were back on schedule as all day dressing attire.

All in all January was good and I am thankful for the way it turned out. I met one amazing woman and had so many great ideas and made some plans, so I look forward to the future and making this January recap even more successful February recap. Hello February and welcome.

How was your January? Do you like how your year started and what was the most memorable moment in last 30 days?


Mine was when I really spent the day away from procrastinating on Pinterest or TV, but read, sketched, cooked and had a great day, almost totally unplugged. I was so surprised how natural it was for me to spend it that way. Maybe it was just what I needed. I guess I just need to listen more carefully.

Tell me about your month and what are your plans for February.

Big numbers / 100 / 30

~ ~

This past week has been all about the numbers, my blogging (or better to say the lack of it) has reached (finally) the first (big) milestone  -  100 posts! Although this is not such a big number when it comes to years of blogging but nonetheless I am happy about it. Hopefully I will be better in other 100 that are yet to come.

The other big number was my 30th birthday. Such a crazy number. I don't feel that old, so I guess it is true when they say "you are as old as old you feel". Having that in mind, I am still a child.
The big three-O was wonderfully celebrated with friends and family, gifts were received with great joy of course.





Thinking of aforementioned numbers and occasions that occurred, it got me thinking about life and celebration of little things in every day. Yes, celebrating our lives annually on that one special day should be a premise, but, as well all those (maybe sometimes insignificant) little things that make us smile through out the year  -  we should be happy and joyful about them too.
We need to find time to incorporate these little pleasures in our everyday lives. Make each day special and count. Enjoy the moment, make the most of life because we really don't know the number of our days so each is important and special.
After all it all comes to one thing and that is - celebration of life.

So enjoy the world around you, life itself and all those little magical things that make you smile. Fill your days with what you love and love what you have in each day.

I am happy to be living in these times of such technology and opportunities of communication. so I can "meet" so many wonderful people in this blogosphere and web-sphere in general. You are all a constant inspiration and a reason to endure sometimes impossibly busy schedules with one thought in mind "it will get better". Sometimes you inspire me in so many way I would like to quit my job and just read blogs all day and soak up all your magic like a little sponge. I know I am bad in whole this blogging thing, I should post more and put more time and me in this blog, and I hope in this following year I will.

As new years eve is time for writing new years resolutions and big plans, I think, this milestone date in my life and in a life of my blog is a perfect time to make some resolutions too.

 Hope you are having a lovely week, or enjoying your vacations.
