I want to test my willingness to follow through on a discipline of daily writing. I've been playing at writing for several years, and feel I'm ready to commit to a project. This is a beginning that gives me a structure with lots of wiggleroom to include whatever I want to explore.
I want to restore the sense of adventure I had for exploring my community when I first moved here eight years ago. I still have that adventurous spirit when I travel to other places, but have let it slide when I'm at home. When I first arrived here, I ventured out by public transit, tried new walking trails, visited a few museums, and got to know the area. However, there are so many things I still want to do, and this year I'll make time for them. I commit to a year of "artist dates" with myself to explore my local area and report back. In exploring the area, I'll also be exploring my inner self as I write about my opinions and feelings.
What are some things on my radar for exploring?
- walking trails
- writing options
- future career options
- museums
- parks
- my dreams
- ethnic markets and restaurants
- the variety of shops and restaurants that I pass up when I stick to the same old
- healthy choices for food and exercise
- the world around me
I think the public nature of the blog will encourage me to stay on track, on target, and in touch with myself and my commitment to this project.
