happiness project: friends/family/social networks + misc (jan)

ice – 16 dec 2016

Thrive, Project 45, and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me.

December’s main theme was Health & Self-Care. Unfortunately, that got lost in the difficulties of the past few months. I am hoping that I can soon get moving in the right direction again.

January:
January’s main theme is “Friends/Family & Social Networks”. I’m going to once again try to send out birthday cards and perhaps gifts. Buying gifts is a huge stress for me, and I hope that maybe I can practice in order to get to a place where I don’t have a panic attack every Christmas about gift giving. I hope to get together with friends more often and to reach out a bit more, but life is so complicated right now…

In addition, my plans for the month include small items from other month’s topics, such as signing up for a photography class, sorting out my undergarments and socks, blogging daily, going on at least one “outing” a week, working on my resume, organizing my iTunes, updating our budget, restarting strength training, and creating a logo for Arabiascape.

As usual, whatever doesn’t get done gets cycled back into the plan at a later date. I’ve crossed off a number of ongoing projects in the past month, and I look forward to getting more things organized and done as well as progressing in the longer-term projects.
