BEDA - Day 1

I wish I could say this was just an April fool's joke, but I am actually going to write a blog entry every single day this month.

It's been an awfully long time since my last post (Christmas!!), but I imagine I'll make my way back here a bit more often, going forward. That or I'll actually move to a video platform, like I promised I would earlier.

The last few months have been crazy for me. I've been far too busy for my own good, and I've had to question whether or not I'm doing what I should be doing. I stopped going to coffee shops on the weekends sometime back in early February, and ever since that time, I've basically just been sleeping a lot on the weekends. Sometimes I try to get out and do fun things, but I have really struggled to maintain interest in the usual activities. It doesn't help that everything costs so much, including gas. Seriously.

But it's not all doom and gloom. I do think I've realized a number of things, and hopefully that will make it easier for me to persevere. I've had to change my point of view on living in Madison, for one thing. I no longer care that it isn't everything I want it to be. It just is what it is, and I think I'll need to start figuring out ways to enjoy it more while I still can. I bought a bike, which has helped a little bit, since Madison has a lot of bike trails and such. I will still probably have to take some time off to head back to MN on the weekends every so often, but in the meantime, I'm just happy to have what I have. I may be alone, tired, and weary, but I've got a roof over my head and clothes on my back, and that's more than some people can say.
