Ending 2008 surveys
It's not my habit to make New Year's resolutions. I learned long ago that it takes a lot of effort to even remember what my resolutions were even if I write them down, much less actually do them.
I prefer doing a "to-do" list, than a resolution. See, for me, resolutions are things that you want to happen but you keep putting them off because you think you have the whole year ahead of you. As opposed to a to-do list, where you have to really do them within a specific time frame. Oddly enough, it works.
I suppose you can say it's a resolution too, but somehow, in the past few years, the word "resolution" has been tacked to duty, or to something that isn't fun or exciting to do. Hence, it become tedious and people often put it aside.
Last year, sometime early March, I made a list of things I have to do and want to have. The list roughly has twenty items, and is sorted under categories. The categories aren't really anything but something like "Things to do before I turn 28..." and so on. Checking the list now, I see that I've actually done quite a bit of them and it feels great. (I published the list on my Multiply and later it evolved into my 101 Things to do in 1001 Days). It seems that it's alot easier to do than thinking of a resolution, because I don't feel pressured. Because it's things I actually want to do.
I suppose it sounds off, but that's how it is with me.
So, for 2009, I'm making a new list. A few of the things I didn't get to do/achieve in 2008 will get carried over, but on the whole, it'll be a totally new list. I find that 2008 opened new doors for me, and though I haven't really taken them, I'm glad that I am aware that there are more choices for me than I initially thought.
2008 saw challenges that I managed to overcome. I became more aware of my not-so-good traits (sometimes in a not-so-good manner) and tried to change it. I met new people, strengthened relationships with old friends, and got to know acquaintances a little better. I've visited new places, re-acquainted myself with a place I once called home and spent time with my family. I've read more books than I could count, watched more movies this year than I did in 2007. I could safely say that I fell in love, but that's a whole different story I am not talking about.
I joined NaNoWriMo again, but I didn't stop at a thousand words. I may not have reached the goal of 50,000, but I reached 21,000, which is an achievement. I got my camera, not the DSLR I wanted, but still a very good camera that has not yet failed me. I've gotten my laptop and I love it. I've done online work which earned me quite a bit of money that I've set aside.
I've done some things that were really embarrassing, or things that I later wish I didn't do, but they've been almost forgotten and thought about with a bit of ruefulness and humor. I could say that there are things that I lost, including an innocence of sorts, and that pains me. There are things that I don't look at the same way as before, and now treat with caution. On the other hand, I learned to take things as they are, and often, go with the moment, but still be open.
In 2009, I plan to tap into my creativity more, both with visual and writing. I plan to visit more places around the country, but at the same time explore my own province. Going abroad is also a dream that I won't set aside but it isn't a priority. Careerwise, I'll also be more open and maybe pursue higher education.
I'll be making that list now, and looking forward to fulfilling it all one by one. I feel blessed for everything that happened in the past year, and am looking forward to what comes in 2009. Prayers again for good health, happiness, security and contentment for everyone I love, from family to friends near and far. Guidance too, for everyday.
And for the annual year-end survey I've been doing since I started blogging (plus an additional survey too), you can see it here.
