The Year of Trying New Thing

So 2016 is the year of "Yes" for me. Yes to trying new things and branching out. I had a rough 2015 and I am trying to improve my life this year and my attitude. The best way to do that is to enjoy new things and experiences again. So, I am open to trying new things and new challenges. So far, here are some things I have started.

• Joined Sport Rock and am learning how to rock climb. I am not very good at it but hoping a class and repetition will make me better.
• Kayaking seasons pass for the summer. I have always enjoyed being on the water so I will do it more often this year. My parents got me a seasons pass to Georgetown Boathouse and I can't wait. Kayaking, canoeing, stand up padding, and they even have doggie life vests so Callie can join.
• eHarmony: I have tried several online dating sites, but none have worked so I decided to try eHarmony. It is time to put myself back out there and hopefully find love.
• Traveling when possible: I normally try to save my vacation days for the "big" vacation. This year I have a big vacation with 2 weeks in Italy, but I want to take advantage of long weekends and getting away from DC.
• Sewing: I made two t-shirt quilts for Christmas with two more to finish but I have found many fun projects to start working on. Maybe even trying a skirt or something like that.
• Whitewater rafting--goal to do this in 2016! Maybe a great way to celebrate 30.

So much to try and stay active. The goal for 2016 is to stay positive, have fun, and see where my life will take me.
