101 Things : Goals in Progress, #1-4, #11
Well, I started my list in the hours before 2009 officially came in, because I couldn't help it any longer! I am hoping that same drive and devotion will be present as the list grows shorter.
The goals that I began to work on are: #1, carry my camera with me everywhere; #2, stop holding back my feelings; #3, be kinder to others; #4, be more open to my friends and family; and #11, keep up with my manicure on my own. These goals, like a lot of the goals I listed, will be in progress until the end of the 1001 days; you can't just do these things once and call it a day!
Last night I documented the crazy NYE celebration I went to at a friend's house. There were just a few of us, maybe 8 or 9, lots of booze, and nibblies--crackers, various cheeses, a sausage that was ... well I'm not going there. It was quite the interesting time. This celebration began all of the goals listed above. To take pictures, to stop holding back, to be kind, to be more open, and to have a sweet manicure. ;)
I was able to begin that journey prior to the stroke of midnight thanks to the people around me. I had felt for a long time that there was some bad air between myself and a few others at the party. Last night I didn't hold back, and I was open to them all, and it was just wonderful. I had so much fun, laughed so hard, fell over 3 times, and fell in love with my friends all over again. They are some of the greatest people on the face of the planet and I am so lucky to have them.
It's hard for me to choose an image from last night that best describes the evening. But, heres one of my friend Joey and my friend Dawn, giggling and laughing, all blurry ... because that's how I was seeing things most of the night. ;)
