Sunday Salon: Transitions
Posted on October 5, 2014 in Books, Knitting & Crafting
Hello! It has been awhile since I wrote a Sunday Salon post. I have dropped off a bit with my Little House series readalong and fell behind actually. I may try to catch up this week.
Over the past couple of years, I’ve gradually knit less. I even started a pair of socks over a month of ago, but I’m just one third through the foot. I should have picked an easier pattern to return to knitting.
I have many hobbies and interests, and of late, my social life and running/fitness has taken over. I am the most fit as I have ever been in my life. It’s taken me a couple years to have this kind of social network; I only had a couple of friends here three years ago. I even started a new work contract recently. I still watch some TV shows. I’m interested in “Outlander” and “Black-ish” these days. I have not seen a movie in a couple months though.
The saddest aspect is that my reading has dropped off significantly this year except for during my holiday to China in May. I took my reading goal down from 70 to 52 books, and even with that, I’m struggling at 31 right now.
I will always love reading and consider myself a reader. Lately, I’ve found it hard to be one. I don’t want to force myself to read either. I think it’s just a transitioning time for me, and I’ll definitely go back to bibliophilia when the time is right. Hopefully soon.
Have a great week!
I know what you mean! Sometimes you just need to let life happen and then catch-up with “plans” later. Sounds like a great year, regardless of the reading. Hope you have a fantastic rest of 2014.
Thank you, Geoff! i am going to try to fit in some reading plans before 2015. Hope you have a fantastic rest of 2014 too!
Sounds like you are doing well and enjoying other interests at the moment. Give yourself a break. Congrats on the fitness regimen.
