Wow.. another year just flew by. 2006 was DEFINITELY one to remember. Looking back, my resolutions from the begining of the year are definitely interesting. Looks like I hit 5 of 7 resolutions. Not bad considering I was pretty busy and my life changed in ways couldn't have imagined. I'll say this for sure, 2006 was a huge year for me in many respects.
Now... for 2007. I'm hoping 2007 will be a quiet year. I feel like so much has been going on that I need a break. I just need some time to establish a routine, go to work, maybe meet some new people, but I really don't want a lot of drastic changes in my life. Heh, I did enough of that last year. So anyway, here are my resolutions for the year.
- Volunteer - Yes, this was on my list last year and it was one of the things that I didn't get around to doing. I still feel strongly about this, and hopefully with my mini-goal of having a quiet year, I can find some time to do this.
- Take more time off - Wierd huh? Since I've started working in corporate america, I've probably taken less than 15 work days off for vacation. I'm not so sure my parents even know what I look like anymore. I don't intend to abuse it but I feel like I need to take some time off now and again.
- Be more ambitious - As if I wasn't ambitious enough right? Well, I guess with this new job I'm in the mood to push myself harder. I know I keep putting resolutions that seemingly conflict one another, but I think it can be done. Yeah I might take some more days off, but I can always work that much harder while I'm at work.
- Look for "The One" - As one of my resolutions for 2006, I said I would start considering the "M" word. Well, I considered it. To an extent this has already happened, but I think now I can see myself really getting involved in a serious relationship that could lead to "M". So we'll see - this one's a bit open ended but it's on my mind.
- Have more fun - I think I learded a lot about fun in Chicago. I had to crawl out of my comfort zone and oddly enough, I did well. For 2007 I want to continue that and look at life with positivity, optimism, and just have a lot of fun.
- Save Money - OK OK, this is another one from last year. For 2006, I think I did pretty well. I think 2007 could be even better and I've got a plan to set myself up pretty well. Overall I'm very positive on the outlook on this resolution.
That's 6. I think 6 is plenty for this year. We'll see. One less resolution, but I really want to be successfull at all of them this year. I think I've set some high goals. Goals are good and hopefully I can push myself again. Seems like lately I've been having some big years. Either way, I think 2007 will be interesting, there are a lot of things that were put in motion in 2006 and 2007 should see how things turn out....
