Looking Forward

Now that I'm well entrenched in the new year, I've been giving some consideration to what I want the year to bring.

I've been trying and casting aside a couple of ideas, none of which seem sustainable or ring true to the person I am, and the person I want to be.

I tend to be a goal-oriented and results-driven person, so I've put a lot of pressure on myself to define goals - after all, as of right now, I have only 11.5 months to reach them, and the clock's ticking. Having said that, beyond knowing what my goal weight is, I have nothing defined. I have some vague sense of what I'd like my life to be like, and I guess this year will be about trying to make things more closely resemble that vision.

I'd like a life filled with laughter and silliness, with security and love. I'd like to feel at peace with myself, so that my actions are inline with my ideals. Vague sentiments, right? To turn this into action, I guess I need to figure out what's happening now that ISN'T in line with those things - what's prevented me from achieving this in the past - then take steps to change those factors. Hmmm... so much to think about...

Tick-tock, tick-tock....
