Shifts.


Life is a bit swell these days.  I would not say entirely perfect for there are many things on my list that I must complete.  But I would say that they are pretty darn great.  

You know that stage in the project, where you just got through a huge milestone.  You come into the office the next day and everything seem so much lighter because you know that you are months away from the next one? You feel like you can do all the other low priority items that you have been pushing off.  Maybe have lunch out with cohabitants of your office instead of eating in front of your desk or even take a stroll to the other end of the campus just to take in the sunlight…  really do all the things that you used to love about your days: coffee with New Yorker online before a long virtual meeting, Pandora while responding to emails.


I am in that stage of my life.  Things are easy.  I feel the ambition dripping away from my immediate focus. All my intensity is right now is really being dedicated to the “B” files I have saved on my desktop for the last 2 years.  I work out intensely.  I cook.  I am making new friends (which is funny because I really did put this off for the last year, totally blocked new people from entering my social orbit).

To many, it might feel like I am changing rapidly and am changing again.  I notice that my priorities do shift every year and my desires change quite often.  But really it’s me juggling trying to satisfy all the things I really want in life in the only way I can, with the same intensity that I give everything else.  

 
The only thing that I am focusing on right now is my body and my goal of 6% body fat by August 2011.  And I am pretty intense about it.  Though I cook… I don’t really eat it.  So I leave it out for my roommate. :D

1st meal made in my new home

First meal I made after moving into my new place in Seattle.  I thought it would be wonderful to remake a lazy meal of shredded rotisserie chicken + squash sauce on wheat pasta.  It was seriously heaven.
