A lot of my journal and even twitter entries tend to be on sad, depressing or angry notes. I don't know why my emotional overflow only manifests when I'm unhappy, so I've attempted to post less to minimize the drama. A friend of mine says that her therapist calls this "catastrophizing," and I most certainly can relate.
That being said, this has been one year that has really tested me. It's been a lot of ups and downs but I am continually astonished and humbled by the people who are there for me no matter what. I would say that this year, I've seen people's colors come out and I've learned not only more about them but also about myself.
Vagaries aside, although I foresee some hardship and uncertainty towards the future, I am not panicked or scared because no matter what I'm with the people that matter most to me.
So looking towards a new year, I have a list of tasks, ideas, plans... a resolution, if you will...
1. Work out more, eat healthier
2. Cook more
3. Get better at photography - learn photoshop, buy more lenses, try to get paid gigs, make a portfolio site
4. Get better at HR - take the PHR cert exam, go to more educational updates
5. Travel more as long as I can afford it
6. Be better with money - diversify investments
A pretty modest list, if I do say so myself. So bring on the new year, I'll take whatever it throws at me.
