Gearing up for the new year

The time has arrived, and a new year has begun!  As many of my friends, and people all over the world, I have big ideas of what I would like to get done over the next couple of months.  Having spent a good many hours over the last several days contemplating what I would like to envision this new year bringing, I think I may be ready, very soon, to put together a plan of how I would like to go about doing all that I would like to get done for 2009.

It is not typical for me to keep Christmas up much after the New Year.  So, this weekend, we’ll be packing it all back into the pretty red & white Christmas boxes, and dragging all 20 of them back to the storage locker, until next year! Don’t get me wrong… I love “putting up Christmas”, but after a month of my house being basically re-arranged and cluttered up with this stuff, I am ready to un-clutter and clean it all up. *smile*  That, in itself, is a great sense of accomplishment. 

So, for today, for now, I think my first “big goal” for 2009 will be to “clean house”, and get things back to my “neat normal” routine, so that I can organize for the next task that will most definitely show itself to me very soon.

’til then…. I will be working on more of the WordPress/MacBook Pro lessons. 
love and warm Happy New Year wishes to all,

Day 1 of 2009!

 

A new day breaks...

Happy New Year!

This is the first day of 2009; a day filled with hope and wonder that this is going to be a good year, indeed!

I will take a few days, over this weekend, to work up my Hopes and Goals lists for 2009, and what I would like to get done this year.  Some of these items will be work related, some even Second Life related, but mostly these Hopes & Goals will be dealing with my own dreams and desires to measure growth and accomplishment on a much more personal level.

And one small goal I hope to achieve is actually working this blog, and writing “nearly every day”!  I do want to learn how to keep creating on this blog, sharing my thoughts, my ideas, and a bit of me, to whomever that might stumble upon these musings, and find them interesting.  My hope is that with working more with the blogging, on my MacBook Pro, & using Web 2.0 applications, I just might become proficient in all those areas, and attain a comfort zone that is mine alone, to share and relish!

We’ll see….

Joining in on the “Cheers…

… to wish all a Happy New Year!”  

 

Ready to contemplate this New Year's Eve

 

 

As this is the last day of 2008, it is always typical to reflect back at the enhancements from lessons learned in the past year, and look forward to new adventures that will, hopefully, make us stronger and happier with who we are.  

I, personally, don’t do the New Year’s Resolutions list, but I do take a look at what new goals and challenges I wish to take on for the coming months.  I set these up so that on Dec 31 of NEXT year, I can look back, and feel good about the answer to the “what did I accomplish this last year?”

I have always looked at my “day to day” life experiences as little adventures. Some are more challenging than others, of course, but they are nonetheless helpful in guiding me towards a goal that will take me closer to that feeling of accomplishment and pride of “a job well done”.  I think, perhaps, this is helpful in keeping a positive and happy outlook on my day, as well as challenging me to learn new things, meet new people, and pushing myself to new experiences.

So, I shall work on my Goals for 2009 list over the next few days, and try to work up a reasonable plan to continue moving forward towards them.  

Happy New Year! May it be safe, prosperous, challenging, and, most of all, FUN for you!
