i am so over winter -- i'm sick of all my clothes, i don't want to buy anything new for cold weather. i'm itching for the new season to come, and don't like feeling stuck in this residual season. feeling a little uninspired lately.
don't get me wrong, 2012 thus far's been great (:
but as the years pass the events and celebrations that take place in my life and in the loved ones' around me have more meaning, more depth, and more importance. realizing that almost half of my year is already planned out is drastically different from the way i lived back in college -- the planning gets overwhelming at times but i think only an indicator of my observation, and inevitable growth.
my job at work is to plan in a retail environment. all day long i'm looking at styles and stories behind them. which ones are working, and which ones aren't? what does history tell me that i can take and use to guide in making the best decisions go forward? what are the resources available that can be used as leverage? what are the logistics behind the execution of a strategy?
the last thing i want to do in my personal life is to plan things -- i think naturally it's my initial reaction to doing it anytime after 6.
but it is a strength of mine. inspiration is at times what i lack to do it well.
spring cleaning, buying groceries, planning a birthday, booking trips, doing my taxes, spending time with my sister, spending time with friends, finishing projects that i've started, reevaluating goals, financial and personal -- balancing all of these isn't just planning, it's life.
this, i feel is the most important thing to keep in mind: that no matter what age you are, everything in life is about balance.
good thing i'm a good planner.
perspective has given me motivation to put it to better use.
excited for spring, and the rest of 2012.
cheers,
xxmon
