January '18 + Resolutions

Whether they be quotes, pictures, experiences, ideas, or lessons learned,

here are my top most memorable moments from the month!

Moments of the Month

5. Co-Stage Managed See Rock City with some talented folks from my (old) college, Regent University.

4.

3. I went to a Movie Night with Catholic Campus Ministry near ODU. We watched "The Incredibles."

2. Got to fill in as Spot Operator at Virginia Stage Company for a couple of their Pride and Prejudice matinees then got to see the show with my Mom and older sister.

1. My family visited my younger sister at her college to celebrate her 21st Birthday. We spent the whole day there and had so much fun spending time with her.

Resolutions / New Habits

3. Be more picky about what I put into my body.

As in, what I eat. I'm not one for tracking calories, but I have always struggled with "proper eating habits" so I figured if I could become more wary of the foods I'm consuming then perhaps I could change that.

2. Drink only water throughout the whole year.

Now, I was doing great with this one up until a little while ago when I absentmindedly drank some lemonade at my job. I figured I might as well give it up since I'd failed already, but that's just why I hate resolutions. Giving up is too easy; So I decided to keep at it. It's times like these when a little hiccup in the plans should not be enough to make you quit altogether.

1. Finish my second book.

This one is honestly quite daunting for me. It took me exactly a year to write the first one and after having my mind so overwhelmingly consumed with thoughts about the book every moment, I was thrilled when I was finally finished because my mind could have a break. Now I'm more cautious of tossing my head back into the fray of unending thoughts and ideas that come spiraling out of nowhere. I am however determined to finish this series, whether I complete a book this year or not.
