Another Year Gone · Dec 31, 06:39 AM by Amberlee
2006 was a year that went quickly but did not see many accomplishments. It was a year of health issues, interpersonal relationship maintenance, and contemplation. I felt like I spent a lot of time in idle waiting for things to change—for other people to make decisions so I could make my own—only to come to the conclusion that waiting around on others was going to get me nowhere.
On the other hand, the idle of 2006 gave me time to consider my options and my future. To reevaluate and take stock. For the most part things are in a good place. Aside from needing to tighten up some finances and finish off a few projects I’m at a point where I can launch in almost any direction. That’s a good thing. I also was able to visit with plenty of old friends and some family members at weddings and other events.
I did a lot of procrastinating and left a lot of projects unfinished in 2006. As a result, my 2007 will be devoted to finishing off my projects, making a list and checking it twice, and making my decisions and plans for the next phase of my life. I also plan to do quite a bit of travel in 2007. In order to make good decisions for the future some research of the hands-on variety must be done. I’ll be going by car, plane, and foot to places I have not yet been and will be exploring new vistas. I’ll also, no doubt, be meeting some of you that I have known online for years but have yet to meet in “real life.”
I hope that your year was at least as good as mine, if not better. I also hope that all of you will have a safe, prosperous, and happy 2007.
