Happy New Year

I was doing some cleaning over the holidays and I came across a list I made last April on the eve of my bow from the restaurant world and realized that there may be something to this idea of making lists. On it I had said that in one year I wanted to be in a new job, living on my own, re-engaging old friends and in a stable relationship. Now, I'll be honest, I wrote that list and looked at it maybe once after I wrote it, but I was surprised to see that 9 months later I have accomplished nearly all of the things on it or am on my way to accomplishing them.

So, that got me thinking that I should start a new list to see what I can accomplish this year. I don't want to call it "resolutions" (as in the New Year's variety) because that will last me all of about a day and I never wrote those down anyway (perhaps why I never kept them...hmm...). I want to make my list 3-4 major things I can accomplish this year.

So I guess that's my resolution this year: that I'll make a list and stick it in a drawer and check back 12 months later to see how I'm doing. Seems like a good resolution to me. Check back in 12 months to see how I did!
