Seven months

I began my 40to40 seven months ago.  At the time I felt depressed and thought this new journey would create a spark in my life.  Well it did for a bit and now I've completely lost momentum.  Work is completely lack luster and I'm trying to fit in and find a role for myself. My major project seems to be closing and my skills are not longer needed here.  Well, this is my opinion but I will have to be creative and make them find something that works for me and them.

I started somethings that I am proud of like my Barre class.  I stopped running and did not learn to ride the bike or swim like I intended.  I also gained 10lbs over the past year. I really need to find a career that excites me or really work on obtaining my PhD.  I'm not going to have children and my married life is a bit strained.  Lately it feels like we've disconnected a bit.  Probably due to social media and our living situation with his daughter.

I really want to be happy again and maybe I forgot since my ordeal with my brother.  Well now that I've complained a bit... here are my plans to get back on track:

• run on treadmill 2x per week
• run outdoors 1x per week
• weights 1x per week and during barre
• start bike lessons this Saturday
• sign up for knitting lessons soon

My next plan for August thru September is to improve my social media presence.  either by taking photography courses or a creative class at Montserrat.  I added the picture from New Orleans - why?  No clue, but it will come to me.

Until next time.
