Day #15 of Blogtember.
Monday, September 23: A “life lately” post. What you’re up to, how you’re feeling, how you’re doing on your goals, etc. Bonus points for great photos!
Today’s prompt has come at the right time. Because…
23 September also happens to be the Autumnal Equinox. Well, it falls on either 22, 23 or 24 of September. I’m considering the mean! Which means the length of day and night is nearly equal. Perfect balance! When I studied about it for the first time in grade 4 (I think), I was thrilled! It was exciting to see my birthday printed in my textbook.
And I always do a “life lately” on my birthday. I don’t normally post personal stuff, so this is going to be a change from the routine. (Reminder to self: Blogging was also about breaking self-made boundaries).
+ Learning “certain” things. It’s opening up a lot of possibilities. Okay, I know that doesn’t reveal anything. Old habits die hard!
+ Studying (Duh!).
+ Building this blog and trying to make it reflect a small part of me. I think I’m halfway there. 🙂
+ Trying to reinforce balance in whatever I do. I’ve wasted a considerable time when the balance was tilted. It made me unhappy, dissatisfied, and I won’t let it happen again.
+ Restless, as if waiting for something to happen. And I’ve got a feeling, that whatever it is, it’s going to be great!
+ Nervous, about the future. What if it doesn’t turn out to be what I’ve imagined it to be? What if it does?
+ Charged up. Because whatever is coming my way, I’m determined to make it work for me.
+ Courageous. It’s a time of changes and new developments for me, and this time, I’m ready to welcome them, smiling.
+ In whatever I do, I try to focus on what is right for me, and not what others think is right for me.
+ I try to be in sync with myself. You can’t believe what a huge difference it makes.
I’m looking forward to the future. 🙂
How do you normally spend your birthdays? Do you evaluate your lives periodically?

The spring equinox occurs on 21 March. So, it happens twice a year. I was thrilled more because of it being my birthday!

Happy birthday! Birthdays are always a good reminder to pause and reflect and think ahead. I’ve found myself doing less and less of that as I’ve gotten older, which is not good as perhaps I’m becoming too complacent. I hope you have a wonderful year ahead – it sounds like you are ready for it!

Thank you! I always try and set some goals for the year. I may not always be able to stick to each and every thing, but I consider the exercise a success if I follow at least a few of the plans. 🙂
