maybe I'll give myself merit badges for these....

I have been feeling unsettled lately. I think this is because I am in a state where a lot of my future isn't (exactly) in my hands. It isn't very fun, to be honest. That said, I am able to control some other things. So let's concentrate on those before I permanently turn into a crab cake:

Working out: Looking at some older photos, it is clear that I am ultimately successful (see below).

That said, I have lost my desire to work out. I have had 3 dreams involving yoga in the past week. I think that is a sign. I say the phrase "I need to get back to my practice" as often as women say "I need to join a gym." So do it already, ber!

Cooking: I keep buying food from restaurants. I had a small stint where I was making my own salad dressings and everything. I need to get back to that. I am also going to spend less at restaurants so I can spend that $ to take a cooking class every once in a while.

Yoga: Let's give this a category. Let's make this happen.

Travel: I need to step this up. Even weekend trips.

I think I used to travel more. I used to make purchases like my kitchen-aid mixer without a second thought. I even took a pottery class at Pewabic pottery. I want to enjoy the categories above, but make sure that these are peppered in over time. I think moderation is a word that is over-used. But, as Joel McHale said on Community, sometimes truths are heard so much because things are just that simple. (I am paraphrasing, but you get the idea)
