So far, this description has been quite fitting. 2012 has been enlightening and uplifting for me already.
Half a year later it is still a wonder for me to actually look forward to going to the office and feel like I am doing something useful. I've learned so much and I've barely scratched the surface. Plus it's good environment to be a sponge. It is a treat being around competent non-draining people. I leave work with my battery still at 80%, which leads to wonderful things like workouts and socializing and salsa dancing on weeknights (like last night). I always pay the price of Zombie Friday the next day, but even after working a full day I'm still mentally energized right now (although extremely sleepy). I've rediscovered salsa again! My New Year's Resolution is to social dance as much as I can.
I even did it last month with girlfriends in Vancouver. Vancouver salsa folks are super friendly :)
Salsa nights caress my sanity. Social dancing is what caused me to fall in love with salsa in the first place. It's time to go back to the mentality of being a salsa newbie - all wonder and thrill and fun.
I'm also in love with my Kobo. My last read on it was Watership Down. A very rich and haunting story that takes place in the secret world of rabbits.
Now I'm delving into some non-fiction. I've discovered something about non-fiction. It lets me have a life! It doesn't swallow me up as much as fiction does. The Blank Slate says to stop the denial of human nature. I agree. The older I get, the more I realize that there are just some things about me that are built-in. It might be better not to ignore them (hence the late night dancing and the devouring of fiction).
Mmm.. sleepyhead mode. I think I'll make Friday nights my new Sunday afternoons. Laundry and dishes with intermittent napping and reading sounds good to me.
Mind Farts
-i have been a social "pescatarian" and eating sushi with friends. i can't eat things with feet though.
-i am godmother to a baby with the best hair ever. some people just magically make beautiful babies!
-eggplant. so versatile.
-i hope my grandma is feeling better.. i can't believe she's 90. she's genetically gifted though ... she doesn't look her age and from her letters, she's still very sound of mind. there was recently some severe arthritis going on :( this is what sucks about being half a world away from most of your relatives.
