Back From a Break

For the past one month, I have been on a break. I know, I know...I have been on a break since September, but this is different. Between September 2014 and March 2015, despite being on a break, I have been fairly busy. In fact, during this time, I had immersed myself in so many activities that at times, I felt that I was busier than working full-time. But April has been different. I was so tired by the end of March, that I decided to just be in April. No weekly planning, no regular exercise, no courses - nothing. The fact that I was going away to Portland for two weeks was an added advantage - I wouldn’t even have to cook. A vacation in the true sense. And it’s been wonderful.

But this also means that I have been off my goals for one whole month, and that makes me feel a little guilty. That’s okay, I guess. Can’t have it all. The good thing is that as April comes to a close, I am filled with energy and excitement for the next few months. Here are some things I am looking forward to:

1. My First Marathon Training: Yes, you read it right. I have joined a training group, and will target running my first half-marathon this year. I am super duper excited, and extremely scared - how on earth am I going to do it? Well, I guess if I can become an early riser, I can do anything else. We’ll see.
2. Sending the Book Proposal to Publishers: The synopsis is done, and the initial few chapters have been edited - I am all set to send the book proposal to a few publishers. Will do it in the coming week. And then I will cross my fingers.
3. Studying Positive Psychology: There is a course which I am enrolled in, would like to complete it in May.

Anyway. This post is more to give an explanation for my long absence from here (as some of you were asking about it,) than to talk about something particular. I will be back soon with more.
