Oh, hey.
Before you panic or roll your eyes, this isn't a post about my resolutions for the year and what I plan to accomplish. I've made my own list old-school style: written down in my journal.
I start back with work tomorrow and as much as I enjoy the break, sometimes I just wish I wasn't away for so long because it truly feels like I've been gone forever. It's enough of a chore to get my ass in the mood to be at work, but to have to motivate a class full of kids is not something I'm looking forward to. I just hope that they will be easy on me.
It's hard to believe that it's 2011. It just seems so far off into the future and yet here we are. I feel like I should be going to work with a jet-pack instead of a boring old motor vehicle. I mean a car? What's up with that?! I guess I should be grateful and thankful, but seriously. Jet-pack. We can do this, world.
I've decided that this year is the year that I take my thoughts into action for realsies. I finally feel like I am at a place where I am mentally ready to take some leaps and bounds. These are not things that I am willing to share here just yet, but this does not make me less accountable. I'm accountable to me and the people around me in the flesh, not just in my computer screen.
Most importantly though, I'm accountable to me. I know when I disappoint myself and my reaction isn't pretty. I don't want to look in the mirror anymore and feel hatred towards the reflection. I don't want to get to the point where I can't even stand to look in the mirror anymore.
I've got some pretty big goals ahead of me for this year, but I am giving myself the time and the resources to take the steps towards accomplishing them. I know that people say this every year (and I've been guilty of this too), but this is going to be a good year with a lot of positive changes in the horizon.
Even if the previous years hasn't seen any tangible changes, they've still been relevant to bring me to the place I am now. And, that definitely counts to something.
So, I'm making a toast that this year will be one to go down in history. For all of us.
