Day 19/365 : Another goal for the new year..., originally uploaded by TanviClicks.

Another step towards a healthier more creative lifestyle. The 365 project is already broadening my vision - I think I 'see' more than I used to, my brain processes visual data way faster, I get through at least double the chores than I used to, I have more energy than I used to, I'm seeing micro details in everyday life which I never did notice until today and suddenly the world seems more colorful than before, and no I'm not on psychedelic substances though the camera does have that effect on me :D. I'm happy and I'm loving this :D.















The old wallet vs the new...Any wonder it's so easy to spend more than you have? And why the worls economy is a house of cards so to speak?

Day 1/365 :Reflections..., originally uploaded by TanviClicks.

On every new beginning - we are slightly more mature, a little more cautious and more experienced than before. That's because we have the experiences from the past to guide us on - sometimes our own - sometimes of others we know. Unpleasant as some parts of our pasts may be...somehow the dots always connect in the future. I leave you with this to ponder over in the new year - they are the words of the person whose story to me - is one of the best comebacks this century has seen:

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.

A new 365 day photo project and website :). Will try to hone my skills.

Try to walk 10k steps everyday.

De-clutter better than this year now that the experiment has succeeded :).

Every new purchase will be a barter**(Exclusions - obviously routine purchases required to meet daily needs). - (Eg: New t-shirt when one old one is thrown out. New gear when when one old piece is sold/trashed as condition permits and so on and so forth.).

Reduce procrastination.

Acquire one new technical skill - 1 year should be good for this.

At least one new blog post per week :).

Planner/diary to keep track of these goals :).

Weigh 5 pounds less on December 31, 2010 than I do on January 1,2010.

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.

- Woody Allen
