I Really Don't Like Snow...

...so I've decided that I need to move to a warmer area. Today's snow wasn't all that bad...there was no slipping and sliding on my way in from work, but I was reminded of just how much I dislike snow. It's such an inconvenience, but enough complaining, at least I arrived home safely (what a blessing), now on to better things...

It's a NEW year. That's wonderful news, right! I don't really do the New Year's Resolution thing, but a new year does give me an opportunity to reflect on my progress (or lack thereof) on some of my life goals. I feel like last year was not a year of progress for me...I did finally get my master's degree and I got a new job, but as a whole, I don't feel like I really capitalized on my opportunities last year. I think I was so burnt out and broke from grad school that I just didn't have the motivation to do more than expected in any area of my life. It wasn't a complete waste but I recognize that I have a lot of work ahead of me in 2008. Now, you would think that I'd know exactly what work lies ahead of me since I've made this bold statement declaring that I have many things to get done in '08, but I honestly don't know everything that lies ahead of me yet.

So far, I only have a few goals (or things I'd like to accomplish) for this year...

1) Take guitar lessons. - In progress
2) Focus more on healthier living. - A constant work in progress. I'm aiming for 30x6.
3) Relax more and find things that I enjoy doing, just for me. - I'm taking a cake decorating class next week...thought it would be something fun to do. I've spent too much time living my life around other people's schedules this past year, it's time for a change.
4) Enjoy all the wonderful things that are happening in my life. - I analyze all of my situations far too much, I must free myself to enjoy life...
5) Keep God first in everything. - I've put God on the back burner a lot here lately, partly out of anger, but it's time to get back on the right path.

Well, here's to a New Year...can't wait to see what it has to offer!
