If you’ve been reading my blog since the beginning of time, you know I never really write a post without a picture and I don’t open up like a lot of people do in the blogosphere. But I think I’m starting to open up. Yikes.

If you know me, you’ll know I get every other Friday off from work. Well it so happens I’ve been having every Friday off (until the end of the year) thanks to not really taking vacations all year long. As great as it is not having to work, it’s also not so great. I try not to go out and spend money so I can save it for more important things like school loans.

But this past weekend made me realize how lazy I’ve truly been. I use to spend every waking moment for the purpose of helping others. Now it just seems all I do is sit in front of the computer because my job and my teeny tiny self employed job demands it. I’ve lost my way since I joined the adult world a little over a year ago. I had more time in college to do the things I love. I feel that I’m just living life but not truly living my life.

This is me trying to do what I love again so I don’t lose myself. I’m not 100% sure how but I know focusing more on what I love will help. Such as my workouts. Somewhere along the way I fell off the wagon (more like broke the wagon from gaining weight) and before I knew it the year’s almost over. I starting taking the stairs instead of the elevator at work as much as I can and I’ve been getting back on the workout train and though it’s been a struggle, I’m proud of the accomplishment I’ve made so far.

The blog is obviously on my list as well. I’ve invested money into this blog and seeing it on the backburner is  my fault. I’m always hesitant to write what I really feel with the sense of someone actually finding out how crazy I am and seeing the failure that I am. But I’m going to try to open up more. Not just the happy go lucky stories but sometimes, the deep ones so that I can talk myself through things. I hope y’all are okay with that once in a while.

I am not sure what else will be on my list but hopefully once I find my balance, everything else falls into place.

Going back to work after being off for 5 straight days was hard. Came back to so much work having to be caught up on. I confess I’ve been blogging like crap. So to make blogging a little more fun … and for the sake of Halloween coming up here’s a linkup from Shane.
