It's already a new year! Wow! 2008 has come and gone. It was a year full of goals and I met quite a few of them. Unfortunately, I didn't meet two or three of my largest goals, but I'm confident that I will do so by the middle of 2009. In fact, now I don't make yearly goals. I make six month goal charts and they are set up similar to the categories that are listed in Provident Living...though I started them long before that website ever existed. My parents taught us about this concept long ago and I just kind of held on to it.
Perhaps I should put the goals here, but that means this post will most likely remain in draft mode seen only by me. Most of them will remain private, but some are obvious - lose weight, eat healthy, max the 401k, pay down debt, rent out my condo, read more scriptures and good books, serve more, love better, work smarter, act on ideas, and enjoy life.
Today we went to a movie (Benjamin Button - sad, meaningful, and thought provoking come to mind) and one of my friends said something a few people have said this past week - "I'm so glad 2008 is over. 2009 is going to be a great year."
Yes, 2009 will be a great year! Thank goodness that we have year cycles. It gives us a legitimate excuse with society to start over, change, and improve upon the past. January is the one time of year where it seems ok to share this fact with everyone.
Good luck to you this year. Let's hope that we all make it the best and if we haven't met all of our goals in the next 12 months, at least we have comfort in knowing that 2010 will come with another chance.
Happy New Year and New Resolve in 2009!
