Out With the Old
And in with the new. Year that is! When the new year rolls around most people begin to get all types of introspective. Regretting the past years mistakes, looking forward to the new “better” year ahead.
I spent much of December reassessing my goals. Not so much because of the pending arrival of 2009, but mostly because I’m anal that way. Though I’m always grateful to be in a good place, “right now” is never good enough. I am forever looking ahead, making lists, planning – likely too much of that. I realized in December that my lists have been nearly identical for months – too much listing and not enough doing.
So my New Year’s resolution is just that. To just DO more – and list less.There’s too many men for me to date, books to write, stories to tell, films to create… I had lots of time to come up with that since I’ve been sick for the past few days and celebrated in bed last night.:-(
What about you? Any quirky resolutions made (with little plans to keeps them?)
I quit making resolutions when I turned 30(a few years ago). I have goals now. One was to lose 12 lbs and I have already lost 3. YAY. Another is to write more and get paid for it. I have been more aggressive in finding work in design and writing. I speak NY Spanish but I really want to be fluent as I am looking at my Rosetta box right now. I installed the software already - I just need to carve out time for the lessons. That’s it.
I do hope you write more because I love to read about LA and you take on it.
