I made 2010 new year's resolutions.
Here's a few.
1.) Do more with my photography, and create a big project.
2) Get stronger. Physically, I started a weight-lifting routine in November, which is going well. Emotionally, I'm talking about things that bother me instead of pretending they don't and letting them fester early in the morning and late at night when I could be thinking more productively. I started meditating regularly again.
For years I did transcendental meditation, a gift my mom gave me at age 17. A benefit to growing up in open-minded San Francisco. Meditation helps me stay calmer and clear.
3) Create a separate photo web site.
4) Do more adventure travel that pushes my previous bounds. I still need to get specific. Canoeing Bowron Lake chain is one possibility. If I don't canoe there (British Columbia) I may find another lake chain, which means I need to brush up on my camping and dealing with bugs skills.
5) Find a travel companion who matches me well. I have an active girlfriend who may join me in Hawaii for kayaking and photography but I have more to share beyond the islands.
6) Get back to 120 pds.
7) When in Los Angeles, practice/play piano. I have a beautiful black upright U3 Yamaha. Played since I'm seven. I played better at age fifteen than now. That's about the time a fork in the road appeared and I was accepted to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music but turned left into a broader world. That doesn't mean those skills should go bye-bye.
