I was going over my posts from this year and since the calendar year is coming to a close (how freaky is that?) I decided to go over my original Resolutions for this year and see how I'm doing. Well, unlike last year, I'm not doing very well. In fact, I think I'm moving backwards. Here are the original Resolutions:
<p>1. Visit one country I've never visited before. <br>
2. Learn one new instrument<br>
3. Volunteer<br>
4. Get a promotion at work<br>
5. Save $2013 by 2013<br>
6. Maintain this blog PLUS write a book from last years blog and try to get it published (web book or otherwise)<br>
7. Learn a new sport<br>
8. Learn a new language<br>
9.  Visit 4 new US cities I've never visited.<br>
10. Learn a new hobby (knitting, Thai cooking etc.)</p>
Of these, I've accomplished one: learn a new sport. I learned how to surf! I have visited a few cities I've never been to: Cambria, Half Moon Bay, and Capitola. I feel like they don't count somehow, since they're all in California, but I did just say 4 US cities I'd never been to, so one more and I've got it! Work, as you know, has not gone well. I got the opposite of promoted: fired! But the good news is that I have a new job, and the opportunities are definitely there for me to get promoted. Probably not by the end of the year, but who knows!? Now, I can still volunteer and I picked up crochet, though I'm terrible at it. I can start a new language and a new instrument, so really, there are a few things in my grasp. I won't get to a foreign country, though. Boo!
Anyway, I'd been neglecting my original blog, so I wanted to check in. I still have a few months left. I'll try to squeeze in some magic by the end of the year. Who knows? Maybe the next two months will be the best of the year!
