Scouting Out: January

Photography by Ryan

ooh my goodness. It’s been a long long long minute I must admit. I had a bit of a blog break over Christmas…scratch that…since October and the beginning of January and gosh I think I’m the better for it. That said I’m very much looking forward to cracking on because the year ahead is looking a little less pesky than last year. And the year before.

What better way to start a new year then with a Taking Stock; which I love to call Scouting Out and because I think it sounds better! I have been doing so much stuff and not sharing it here … so you have been warned this January Taking Stock might be a little enthusiastic and chatty …

Here we go!

Making : A list of what I want to achieve by the end of 2019. Have you made goal list yet? How much were you able to                               achieve in 2018? You can let me know on the comment section below.
Sipping : A cup of green tea. Honestly, I wish I was an “influencer” so they would send me a truckload of that stuff. It’s my                      fave! Makes me feel super good and tastes so toasty. Like the very definition of a sort of not-too-tight tea-shaped                    hug. But, a tea hug is actually worth the money so ignore me on the truckload bit.
Reading: A very lovely book called Don’t be a wife to a boyfriend by Shonda Brown White. From the title I thought the book                   was all about bashing men..but I was proven wrong. I love how Shonda takes us through the journey to self                               discovery…well I bet I’m ready to start my Odyssey.

Looking:  Forward. Always forward. (With a nostalgic dose of comfort snacks to fortify!)
Listening: Some soft Jazz and classical music. It still cudgel my brains about how I came to be a lover of such music. Very                         soothing I must say.
Wishing: For some new jeans. High waisted and stretch-ish and black. Suck-in-ish, even, but not so they fold you in half.
Marvelling: At how much seeing other people’s holiday photos makes you want to go on a holiday. You can literally spend                            hours looking up potential holidays, when really you know you are going nowhere and must buckle down and                            get some proper work done.
Liking: My early morning reading in bed.
Loving: That we are done with January.
Buying: Books. All of the books. I want to be book rich.
Watching: Movies back to back on showmax. I’m currently loving the ladies night collection.
Hoping: To be consistent in my postings. my target will be 2 articles every Monday and Friday.
Wearing: Some comfy black Jeans, A hoodie and a pair of white rubber shoes. Casual enough for a chilled out weekend.
Noticing:  I am a bit stiff because I have not been consistent in my exercise. It’s been so sweaty-hot and busy, but really                             those are not very good excuses. I had such a good run of doing it every day for more than 200 days and then I                           fell in a heap. Tonight I will start again! I am making a promise to myself.
Sorting: Out my old clothes and those which I really don’t like…. Declutter, declutter , declutter.
Saving: All my Kshs 50 notes. Not that I get much cash, but when I do I am going to tuck the fifties away for a rainy day. I                     saw this idea online somewhere but I can’t remember where it was.
Giggling: At some old photos
Feeling:  Relaxed.

I hope you are well and have been having nice times! Until next time…Bye bye.

**Lot’s of Love**
