A Brand New Year!

In December I felt sick and overwhelmed, which -combined with celebrating the holidays- led to me neglecting this lovely space online. I am very excited to get back into it though! And I thought I'd start with a New Year's post.

It definitely wasn't all bad, but all in all 2014 was no picknick. In fact, it was one of the hardest years of my life. (With a lot more responsibility and a lot more health issues.) However, here are some milestones and happy memories to look back on:

• I moved into my own apartment.
• Adopted a wonderful cat. His name is Tofu, by the way!
• Decided to get more serious about making music.
• Met lovely bloggers in real life.
• Went to a bunch of bookish events and read a lot.
• Permitted myself to knit with more luxurious yarns.
• Won a real Marc Jacobs bag.
• Treated myself to a movie theater membership.
• And received wonderful emails and snail mail from some of you guys.

Given my current condition, I don't want to put too much pressure on myself. In fact, it's pretty tempting to not make any goals or resolutions, but I do want to accomplish some things in 2015. So I'll try to focus on the following:

• Finding a good routine that works for me, so I can rest enough, yet still do the things I need/want.
• Continue my musical adventure and make some progress in writing/performing/recording/etc.
• Get my studio space in order. I moved about a year ago, but it's still a storage space now.
• Keep making social plans and spending time with lovely people.
• And really get back into blogging. Because I just love it!
