A look back
Jan. 2nd, 2010 03:18 pmI can't seem to dig up a photo from ten years ago, but this is as close as I could get: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kyuu and myself (I'm on the right in the overalls), getting some final snapshots before our group parted ways after Y-Con in 2001. (that still ranks as one of the best weekends I've ever had, btw)
It's jarring to look back that far. I'm shocked sometimes at how much I neglected myself in those days, and it certainly showed. I ran a few miles today, because I'm feeling the holiday bloat. Thing is, the version of me in that photo up there couldn't run a few blocks, let alone a few miles.
Yes, I do wish I was doing better, in at least some areas of my life. But I *could* be doing a whole hell of a lot worse.
The New Year has set my mind upon Out With The Old, In With The New, as it often does. Plans and plots for how to make my 30s far better than my 20s are rattling around in the ol' noggin... and I'd love to put it all into action NOWNOWNOW, of course. Patience isn't exactly one of my most constant virtues.
Today, however, I'll settle for cleaning out my room. One small step. I will need a series of small steps to get to the ultimate goal. :)
