I love the Oscars and I love film. I am so pleased that Kathryn Bigelow won the best director award for the Hurt Locker. I am looking forward to the day, and I hope it is soon, when we don’t have to mention the fact that it is a woman who wins recognition for doing exceptional work ¬†as if only men are capable of such feats.
Now it’s March and the days are lighter. I am thrilled about this. I love that at 6pm it is still light outdoors. I also love that I can get up early and run if I choose to though with both kids at daycare in the morning I now have the option of running at normal hours ¬†(8.30 or 9.00 am ) in the morning rather than the ¬†ridiculous time of 6.30 am. ¬†It has to be this time of the morning if I have lots of errands or chores to do. I need to be back by 7 ish to get the kids up and ready for daycare.
I am also thinking about myself more now. ¬†I am thinking about my future, goals and career. I am playing well not exactly playing yet but learning some chords on my guitar. I would like to practice more but right now I am just happy to have actually picked up the guitar and started working on it. I am reading more too. I just finished reading The Catcher in the Rye and loved it. I am trying and so far succeeding in actually keeping up with goals I set myself at the start of the year. I know it’s only March, just ¬†three months into my new regime, but it going well.
I wish that I could say the same for my blog. I barely have the time to write let alone read all the wonderful blogs that are out there. I am amazed by the amount of work we women do on a daily basis and then blog on top of that.
Anyway, I am hoping to write more regularly. I haven’t been doing this blog a year yet and it would be great to get to a full year of blogging. This will be in April.
I am going to end a bit on how I started with an Oscar sounding acceptance speech. I wanted to work in film. I studied film and photography. I wanted to edit film and then I wanted to be a Director of Photography.  I wish I had pursued it. Like anything you want in life no matter how ridiculous or huge or crazy it may seem or how small or silly it might be, to someone else, as long as you keep at it, keep going forward, it is possible to get there. Stick at it long enough and who knows what might happen.
