All right ... take 2!

So this whole Tinkerbell thing didn't follow through. I lost track of practicing with the team and even worse I failed raising the funds resulting with footing the rest of the bill. It was a pretty disappointing start to the year and the beginning of many disappointments this year. Trust me. It's a lot of crap I have had to deal with in the last 6 months.

This is where "take 2" comes in. I have decided to focus on myself more. I want to better myself in different aspects. I focusing on being healthier mentally and physically. The mental part is new to me and honestly I'm not quite sure if it ever really is working or just healing in time. The physical is obviously more apparent. I started working out more regularly and surprisingly have lost the weight I gained since I started my job almost 2 years ago. I'm more aware on what I eat and the exercise has really perked up my mood better. With that I recently decided to train for a half marathon -- either Nike Women's Marathon in SF or the Half Marathon in Long Beach. Why do I think I can do it this time? I have less distractions. I'm more determined to focus on myself. I need this to get over changes and problems I have been going through.

The training will take a lot of time, but I also want to make time for art. It's my outlet. I've started taking the lunchtime drawing sessions at work hoping this will work my way into doing this on my own. I also have signed up for a digital painting class. With that I'm also pondering making new techie purchases.

I really hope that my shift in focus will make the latter half of this year better.  :)
