2016 is going to be a good year.

2016 is going to the the year I do more things that I want to do and since list-making is easily one of my most favourite past times, here’s another.

1. Play the piano more. Practice more, play more, perform more and spend more time teaching Seren.

2. Sing! I’m joining a choir next week… I know, I know but stick with me. Amazingly the week before Christmas I had publicise a choral concert at work and it just so happens this choir is ran by my two previous school music teachers and rehearsals are held a two minute walk from my house. How much more ‘right’ are circumstances meant to be before I take action?

3. Get back my gym bug and get back into shape (and by shape I mean not circular).

4. Be more patient. I’m always aware of how I need to do this but I really do. Things don’t happen over night or immediately, deal with it.

5. Get more of my pictures out into the public domain. I have so many opportunities to pursue in my quest to get published, I have better connections than most to achieve this and yet still I do nothing? Lazy!

6. Write more. It helps me no end to commit my musings to pixels or ink; getting thoughts and ideas out of my brain space gives me a greater sense of clarity and direction to develop better ideas and thoughts. Just saying.

7. Let go of toxic relationships and nurture worthy ones. Fairly self explanatory.

8. Listen to more music; discover new stuff, revisit old favourites and take the time to really listen, not just hear.

9. Get out and about with my camera and try shooting new things. Oh, and master my camera properly, ISO settings, exposure… the lot!

10. Always make sure you end lists on a nice, round number.

So there you have it, here endeth the manifesto and we’ll see what happens.
