Well Hello There, 2009...
Sunday, January 4, 2009
It appears we have a new year. Twenty-oh-eight is over, although I'm convinced it wasn't a full 12 months. Didn't feel like it, anyway. Yet here we are. January 2009. What will it bring? Who can know.
But I have goals. Not resolutions, which almost never work. But goals.
Like, I will become more skilled in the studio. I'm getting better toys, and I'm getting better at using them. But I have a long way to go. So that's a goal.
And, I'm going to rock at work. The last few years have been exciting and challenging. This year will be the best yet. That's a goal.
I'm going to make more time for my friends. All too often, we get into a routine and don't venture out to see the people that matter to us as much as we ought to. I'm not saying I'll venture into midtown every night, but more than I have been. That's a goal.
I'm not going to quit school. Ugh. Even though the life of a professional adult student can get a little overwhelming, it's worth it. I'm not in any hurry to knock out this degree, but I'm going to continue to cut away at it one or two classes at a time. And I will maintain my rockin' GPA. That's a goal.
Finally, I'm going to get into shape. Not that I would consider myself fat, per se. But extensive business travel with little discipline has definitely taken it's toll. Tomorrow (quite literally) will bring 1200-1400 calorie days and regular trips to the gym (fortunately located just up the stairs, thanks to the Bowflex and recumbent bike, or just down the elevator in hotels). Gotta get my groove back before boating season starts up again. That's a goal.
That's about it, I suppose. I'll try not to suck at most everything I do, and will love those I love and be loved by those who love me. Everything else is icing on the cake, so to speak.
