and onward i march.

January 2, 2007

 

i refuse to feel bad about the new year. i refuse to look at other people's accomplishments and allow myself to wallow in self-pity:  because it seems i didn't do anything significant with my life in the past year.  

and yet.

despite my resolve, i find that — my cynicism over new year's resolutions notwithstanding — i itch for some kind of to-do list, to make up for last year's utter lack of direction and purpose.  and so, much to my own chagrin, here is a short list of my "goals" for this year:

1.  get (as opposed to find) a job — any job — before february ends

2.  actively cultivate old and new friendships (very very lazy in this area the past year)

3.  smile more, worry less

4.  handle the budget with as tight a fist as i can

5.  call my dad more

6.  sleep early and wake up early (i wasted so many beautiful sunny mornings by doing the opposite)

7.  EXERCISE

i guess seven is a good number.  yeah, let's keep it short.  even now, even as i look at this list, i wonder if i can do all of these to the letter.  

i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Icequeen, you forgot an accomplishment that you did very well my dear. You have been a very good wife to hubby, self less and supportive and not everyone is very good at doing that. I know that you are an achiever way back school and work days. Not everyone has been gifted to do well in married life moreso as a very good housewife who cooks and willing to take a back seat for hubby. Such a great accomplishment for 2006…

you are so kind, C! thanks for saying all of these things. it’s just that sometimes i feel like these are things that i am supposed to do, and in the larger scheme of things, they don’t carry much weight. but then again, we should all sometimes give ourselves a pat in the back. i will (give myself some credit), but i am also going to push for a better “me” (apart from being a wife) this year. hopefully, i will have enough energy and self-motivation to do so.

again, thanks! you don’t know how much what you said means to me. =)

I agree with what you said about pushing yourself to be a better you in other aspects of your life (esp. where you felt like you were less of a performer). I will support you. I know that there lies in you so much potential waiting to be utilized. Let me know if in any aspect I can be of a little help and I will come running… Good luck and stay happy. Much love, H.E.
