I'm currently listening to President Ford's funeral service... it's sad, but inspiring as well.
Yesterday I began a Year In Retrospective type of blog... (everyone else was doing it, and it got me thinking) and, of course, my computer froze and i lost it... therefore I'll try again with a different approach - and end with an all too familiar To Do list :)
Things I've Learned (2006)
- I can prepare and deliver a presentation to 200+ of my closest colleagues at a conference and not want to throw up immediately before walking to the podium
- I'm able to handle myself with grace in difficult situations
- If I can envision something, I can make it happen... it's just a matter of faith - believing in self.
- I can do anything I want to do, if I set my mind to it...
- I'm able to orchestrate life changes with methodical organization (9 graduate credits over the summer, part-time work, and house-hunting/buying/moving... all within a two month period - no wonder I was exhausted when the school year began)
- I'm able to use my personal, clinical, and professional skills to start a new job, make it work well, and take an even newer job opportunity within a school year... it's not common, but I was able to do it.
- In lieu of falling apart when things get overwhelming, I can pick myself up by my bootstraps and move forward.
- I got a taste of what I'm looking for... and it's my hope to attain and/or achieve part of whole in 2007
Things I'm Looking Forward To (2007)
- selling my old house... the market is slow, but i have high hopes
- investing in my current home - time, money, effort... it has so much potential, and i love it
- starting fresh with a variety of things... a new approach to my job, letting go of portions of my past, and establishing a new fresh start to all things social... i am looking forward to these changes.
- personal fulfillment... obtained through a variety of ways.
To Do List
- empty car [update: finished]
- assemble grill
- laundry
- put things away - find new homes for presents
- write thank you notes
- get off the computer [update: not quite]
- grocery store and/or plan meals for the week
- again, get off the computer :)
thank you for your encouragement this year... looking forward to the months to come.
take care! Happy 2007 :)
