1. Try to continue with last year's resolution to read at least one book a month. I actually managed to do it most months of this year, but I fell off blogging my reviews as promised. Therefore, I also resolve to more consistently blog my reviews -- despite authors posting whiny comments about me not liking their books (see my 21 March 2007 entry). Wah.
2. Read more disability blog carnivals. I think I'll start with the new one up at Andrea's Buzzing About . . .. Thanks to Kay at The Gimp Parade for always posting links.
3. To do more for myself psychologically and spiritually. I go through periods where I focus solely on my intellectual pursuits, and I know I'm in one of those phases now and have been for well over a year (probably closer to 2+ years). The results are high stress, low immunity, depression, and lack of motivation for the intellectual pursuits. Yup, seeing all of those. I know I can balance between everything because I've done it before. It should be easy for me to follow my spiritual pursuits because I'm living alone again and thus don't have to explain my eclecticism to anyone. In fact, it should be easier for me to study herbalism because I've met and become friends with two women who've been studying herbs for years. I've also met a shaman woman who is very easy to talk to. Basically, I need to do what I've been being told by many of my friends for a couple of months -- I need to take better care of myself.
I'm not entirely certain how I am going to do these three things while doing more with my research, but I know that I have to find that balance. I did it with my masters, and I can do it with my Ph.D.
