2008 - Goals

Here, in no particular order, are a few things I'd like to do in the upcoming year:

Take a photography class. This could be a non-credit course or personalized instruction from someone who's more professional than I. Even though I am, by definition, a professional photographer because I get paid for my work, I think a refresher course, particularly one which focuses specifically on digital cameras, could be of benefit.

Lose weight. This is periennal and I failed at it last year. I will cross my fingers and close my lips.

Exercise. So long as the injuries stay away, I successfully exercise for at least a half hour on most days. I kept this up last year in spite of the pain. I am happy about that.

Organize. I think I am disorganized with my time. I get a lot done but there is more to do.

De-clutter. The older I get, the less stuff I want around me. Where does it all come from?

Plan and take a nice vacation. My husband and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary this year. I would like to go somewhere with him.

Reevaluate. I will turn 45 this year. It seems like a good year to decide if I'm doing what I want to do with my career and if I am not, make a change. If I am, then I need to accept that and move on with it.

Now, let's see how that all works out in the next 365 days.

  1. I'm with you on most of these. Actually, I've already started the de-clutter one. Please let me know if and when you find a photography class. I'd be interested in where it's being offered - community college, adult ed, etc. I've been sort of looking, but so far haven't stumbled on one either in Floyd or now, down here.

  2. Good luck! I read this morning that only 10 percent of us keep our New Year's resolutions. But since you called them "goals" you have avoided that curse.
