So not much of post been on here lately. Well I have been busy but, i haven't had the inclination to do my blog in a while, even though I enjoy it. I started up a picasa so I still upload pics. I guess I started getting busier and busier with endless tasks that you start to assign yourself when you are trying to fill up days with a toddler. Recently though I feel the inspiration to change, change my life quite a bit I guess. I think I would like to simplify things down to only whats important. This might seem like a personal post, but really I don't think that what is important to me is something i need to hide from the world I think I really have to embrace it.
First off my family is very important to me. If I could picture my life anyway, I cant picture it away from family I think Fei and Dylan coming first is more important to me now than I had realized. Simply I would like to care of them, like cook (healthy food), give them attention, and I guess part of taking care of them is taking care of me, so I would like to make our lifestyle healthier, and more fun. I think exercise should be on our agendas everyday, for Fei with school its more likely to be a weekly thing.
I guess I would like to limit TV and internet more too, its hard though especially now that my phone is connected to the int 24/7 and all i have to is grab it from my pocket. Tv is bad too, I know if I turn it off Dylan uses his imagination to and I interact more with Dylan or just get something more productive done.
Simplifying doesn't have to be all hard or boring though, I think if your doing whats most important to you you'll feel a lot happier, for example, my health is important to me, so isn't putting exercise first going to make me happier at the end of the day? I think I would like to incorporate a hobby like taking Dylan out everyday with his new toy truck and just watching nature, collecting rocks or whatever. I would even like to take him out all winter If I can brave it, I think the fresh air will kep us both from getting sick.
Everything needs simplified, for a while now Ive been trying to hard to be a better cook, instead of just using the ingredients I did the weekly shop for id run out 3,5 times a week for new stuff to prepare some new fancy recipe, and feel tired and fed up as a result. Now ill shop for whats easy, and healthy an just go once or maybe twice a week.
This is just a run off of what Ive been thinking about for the past week, what life's all about thinking, and today I really enjoyed my life because i put my family first, and all the things that were important ahead of things which are not like: housework, trying to make it to things that don't fit Dylan schedule, trying to impress other people, spending money on wasteful stuff , worrying about what i look like, etc...
I think its a day too day thing I must focus on until I get the hang of it, because everyday is different, and I couldn't simplify them all in the same way, but at least now that I know what is most important to me I can choose things that fit that and go from there.
I think it would help everyone if they did what really matters to them because life's too short to do other pointless stuff, like trying to be perfect because there is no such thing.
I hope you can find and do whats most important for you :)
