Thoughts of Diaries and Journals and Things........

glum

These past few weeks I've been keeping a personal journal........does that sound utterly egocentric and old-fashioned? Do people still keep a journal nowadays? Well, anyway; the idea came about whilst reading Dracula (in fact, I'm still mulling my way through Dracula) - I've kept a diary at times throughout my past......but ended up forgetting to write in it: leaving me with lots of empty date pages, etc, etc. I just found keeping a daily diary too much of a commitment - a bit like attempting to blog daily I guess! So, aforementioned Journal seems like a happy compromise for me.
Mostly I've been using it to rant and moan; it seems that this is happening a lot lately...the moaning that is.........but only in my journal - I try hard not to inflict other with the wrath of my annoying, stress ridden moods.

It seems the overall theme in the journal recently revolves around how I'm feeling physically: fitness levels, weight - the usual really........I feel that since I turned 35 last month I've gained another half stone (well, actually: I know I have gained a half stone.......the scales told me so) my skin is looking and feeling really crappy and oily (yet somehow dry) and I'm fed up of getting spots. Also, I've noticed that my back is aching more when lifting or........getting out of bed (eeeek!!) - I'm lacking energy and I'm generally puffy all over. Ugh, shall I go on? I could, but I won't........these are merely the skimmings, a superficial glance of the drivel my journal contains - pretty much!

Hey - maybe if I ever write an interesting, less self absorbing entry, I'll post it here (smiley face!) ................I know, I know, I can practically hear you thanking me ;)


I plan to achieve A LOT next year, maybe too much........I'm definitely going to to start running again (like at least 3 times a week) that's for sure! But for now, I'll just enjoy Christmas and New Year, then I'll find my motivation, slap him over the head and be F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S in time for summer! Plan? Plan.......

Do you want to achieve something next year? personal, work or life goal?
