56/1001 - In progress

Life has been really busy lately, especially work. I keep saying things will slow down, but they never do. Ugh, slow down, life! You're moving too quickly.

I haven't checked off a lot on my Day Zero list. A lot of the stuff on the list are things that take time. But I have a lot in progress right now.

#6. Take a picture every day for a month: I'm trying to complete a 365 Photo Project again. I tried it out last year and failed miserably. This year, I'm trying to stick to it. Plus, it helps me get through number 6 on my list. Here's a link to my 365 Photo Project so far. I think I'll try to find themes for the day to stay inspired.

#15. Send 10 Postcards via Postcrossing.com: This is a really cool thing that I'd never really tried before, because I felt I was too busy. It took me a long time to finally get my first 5 postcards in the mail. It's interesting, writing postcards to strangers. I got an email the other day saying that my first postcard had arrived in its destination in Finland. Hopefully the other four I've got out there in the mail system will find their way home soon, too. I'm halfway there.

#19. Start my own business: This is something that has been a dream of mine for a long, long time. I've done work as a consultant for years now and I wanted to make it all official. I finally decided to take the plunge and register my business name and get a MBL. I'm in the process of this now, and it's really exciting. My buddy Jason went into business for himself a few years ago. I admire his guts and am inspired by his success, but I am no way confident enough to leave my current job to start out on my own the way he did. But I'm slowly building a client list and hopefully things will come together.

#41. Read 30 Books: Not much to really give an update to on this one. I think I've read three books, which isn't a lot for me, really. But like I said, I've been busy. I will say that I'm reading 'Eat, Pray, Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert. I was refusing to read the book after the recent hype from it now being a film. I hate hype. But I was curious and started reading it in a book store one day. Loved it. So, here I am...reading it, despite the hype.

#63. Do the 200 situps challenge: I don't want to brag, but I'm finding this easier than I thought it would be. That sounds awful, doesn't it? I'm halfway through week 2. My initial test was really good, but I was sore afterwards. Just have to stick to it.
