I always enjoy a little retrospective early on in the new year, even more so when the whole decade is fresh. Something about that zero makes it feel like anything just might be possible if the stars are right. Time to think about what you realllllly want, because chances are its different than what you got last year. And if you're anything like me, you'll do some thinking about where you came from and how far you still have to go. I can't help but wonder how I will ever get there. Sigh.
I thought of writing a list of everything I have done on NYE for the past 10 years. Then I realized that nearly every New Year's Eve has been spent in bars-- working! So I dug up as many old journals as I could find to see what my past resolutions were, only to realize that most every year recorded (15 years and older) I was just as lost and restless as I am now in my thirties. There is nothing like revisiting words from years ago to make one cringe in horror. Although I may still be feeling my way blindly through life, at least I know I've become wiser. (Perhaps I'll even share some of my embarrassing teenage diary when I am feeling self deprecating. We can all have a laugh at the drama of youth!)
In 2010, I will:
learn to drive
write something, anything... (update this blog 3 times a week, among other things)
make a home
make the impossible, possible
What will you do this year? I am genuinely interested; so go on, tell me your dreams!
