To mark the start of my writing journey, I wish to start my first blog post on a positive. I spent the day at the beach with a few close friends of mine. It was a great way to welcome in the start of a new year by not having to worry about my work and everything else that needs doing.
At one point in my life, I would have thought of this sort of activity as a kind of boring. I’ve learnt recently not to overthink things and just to simply enjoy the simplest of activities in the company of close friends. I have made an observation that doing something boring with friends is better than doing something exciting with people who I wouldn’t describe as my friends.
The best part was having a fire on the beach where we just enjoy being present in the moment.
What a way to start the new year.
Just being calm and learning to remind myself of the simple things that I take pleasure in when times get tough as I know they will.
As I’m writing this I’m listening to some calm acoustic music and it makes me more determined to learn the guitar as another one of my ambitions of the year.
It can’t be that hard!
What can possibly go wrong, am I right?
This will also mark the start of me trying new things that will take me out of my comfort zone!
I know I will need to do this for hobbies I enjoy persuing – like cycling in races with other people for example
One challenge at a time!
