I got worried today about the financial aspect of the next few months. I’ve never faced this kind of financial uncertainty. Really though, when I think about it, this isn’t even that great of uncertainty. I’ve got money to fall back on in the retirement account from my old job. I’d rather not access that, but in a worst case scenario it would be easy to get a hold of. I need to keep that in mind because it gives me a better perspective on everything.

I wish I was writing. I wish I’d spent the last year writing. I feel like I’ve got something to say and I’ve even got an idea of how I’d frame it. Yet still, I don’t pursue that writing. I’ve also got a ton of short stories floating around inside my head. I want to put them onto paper, yet for some reason I don’t. I think if I really pursued writing that I’d like it quite a bit. I like crafting things and figuring out exactly how to say what I mean. I’m hoping that I start at least trying soon. I have to at least work at something. Right now I feel like I’m a bit stuck.

Anyway, yay for Istanbul. A new adventure and a fresh perspective. What a gift!
