Getting Ready for 2010: This is My Life

I rarely do the whole New Year’s resolution thing. I’m not quite sure why either. Maybe it just seems too cliche’, or perhaps I’m not really that much of a planner to begin with. In any case, as I look forward to 2010, I decided to give it a go. Sort of.

Instead of declaring specific resolutions like losing a few pounds or starting a new workout, I sat down and wrote out a “This is My Life” list. Oddly enough, this was not a difficult list to generate. It just sort of flowed out over the course of about 5 minutes, and I have to say, I’m pretty energized after having expressed it.

It’s a true work of art for me. I even printed it out and taped it to the wall above my computer monitor where it serves as a daily reminder of the type of life I want to live.
