Well, 2009 is here. Have you started thinking about the past year? For the first time in a long time, I actually have. The past year (or, really, two years) has been insane in too many ways. I will spare you with a recap. Let's just say that I have had more highs and lows than the best, most ferocious roller coaster ever created. And I actually LIKE roller coasters.
So, with 2009 comes realizations, right? We have a young, vibrant, non-White man about to take over the office of the POTUS (those fans of West Wing or in the know will understand that). Many people make a resolution for "No Drama" or "To Work Out And Lose A Ton Of Weight" or "To Become Financially Secure." Yeah, I am thinking that those things, those wonderful, are out of reach. We all slip on our workout routines, we get involved in something that will cause our blood to boil, and, well, have you seen the economy?
For me, here is my resolution - To Seek Balance and Equilibrium.
I have a pretty darn good life thus far. I have a job that I both appreciate and enjoy, I think I might actually have a couple of articles to come out of the diss, my sister-in-law is due in March (let the next wave of Tymas be unleashed onto the world), and my parents are still going strong. My friends are amazing (I think we are all starting to hit our stride), I am meeting new and fantastic people all of the time. My goal is to just find that balance of heart and head that I am always looking for. I think it is possible.
What is your goal for this year? List it, make it official, and post your progress. Force yourself into the public sphere so that it holds you accountable!
Now - if I could just find a way to make my student loans magically vanish. I am NOT looking forward to March ... damn bills! :-)
Cheers! Adam.
