New day, new blog.  I am trying something new.  I keep trying to figure out the best way to blog that will make me want to keep it up.  My last blog didn't keep me interested and I realized some reasons why.  I'm going to change those things with this one.  

It's almost new years but I didn't want to wait until Jan 1st.  I am really hoping to change a lot of things in the future and maybe make my life a little more interesting.  I want to get out and live more.  My health holds me back but I need to try harder.  I think I just gave up on being able to do anything like I used to.  I became housebound for the most part because it's easier.  If I'm out in the world I have to worry about what to do if I start feeling bad and how I'll get back home safely.  I will have to figure that out.  I want to work on myself and try to enjoy life more.  

I hope to make some local friends or reconnect with some old ones I haven't seen in a while.  I am still trying to lose weight and exercise more.  I was doing better but slid backwards again the last few months.  I need to lose the weight I gained from the holidays.  I can't believe I let myself mess up my progress.  I'm working on myself now so I'm hoping I can start making some real progress now.  

I want to read a bunch more books this year but I want to focus more on what I enjoy reading.  The last few years I've been focused on reading the books I've had the longest.  I have read a lot of them but I have a lot more.  I know there are some that are not getting read because I don't really want to read them.  Some of them were given to me and just aren't a good fit.  I am going to go through all my books and pull out any that don't really fit my interests.  I am sure I could make some space on my shelves to make room for new books that I am more interested in.  I have recently found some new series that I'm loving.  

2024 is going to be a good year!  Things are going to get better, at least in my world.  I may be "away with the fairies" but I'm having a good time.
