So another year
gone, output on the blog gone slightly lax, but real life does get in the way.
And it has been an eventful year, if not a particularly great one. As some of
you may, or may not know, was basically laid off with stress and depression,
last September-partly work/leisure mix related and as such, it has made me reevaluate
priorities in life. Naturally, the
triple evils of life (work, further work, home, transport and life-actually
that's a bit more than three) are still there, but ultimately we have to
remember we work to live, rather than live to work. Now naturally the odd hours
work, do put strain on how rest of life progresses, but I think we need to
remember that, provided we keep on progressing and striving to better ourselves,
there is still room, outside this to pursue hobbies-it keeps us grounded,
something to strive towards at the end of the day-ultimately something that
doesn’t drive us mad.
Too
True
As such, these need to be realistic and achievable. If you
put too much on your plate, nothing gets done. If you put little by little onto
your plat and finish it early, you have the surprise at the end of the project
of going, what’s next.
So , with that tenet in mind, here’s New Year’s hobby
resolutions:
a)
Finish the Hougoumont Diorama (54mm)
b)
Finish 28mm late 17th century
Covenanter Rebellion/Jacobite/NYW project
c)
More blogging, maybe post fortnightly-comment on
outside blogs as well-if not weekly, then fortnightly, as long as its monthly.
As long as it’s something attainable-painting progress, rules review, battle
report etc. Short But Sweet
d)
As transport is currently an issue both reenactment/wargaming
wise, at least one solo wargame per month.
e)
30 minute a day painting challenge. It doesn’t
need to even be that long or just painting. As long as it’s something hobby
related for as long or short as is possible in an evening after you’ve finished
work, that would be fantastic.
Pretty attainable I think.
