The Plan

While wandering around a book store a few weeks ago with Roomie I picked up a 2008 Chinese horoscope book and flipped through the pages find out what the year ahead might bring. The upcoming year of the rat could be a very good year for me (shocking a horoscope book promising good fortune … but I digress). I can get almost anything I want; as long as I know what I want it will be there for the taking.

I don’t spend much time thinking about what I want. I spend time working, doing and having fun but actually sitting down and thinking about five years from now or ten years from now isn’t something I have been very good at in the past. I seem to just land in jobs, accidentally end up in relationships and spend time with wonderful people who seem to wander into my life off the street. It maybe time to sit down and think about what it is I want for from this little life of mine.

It isn’t easy to write down a plan for your life, but I am committed to spending the next few weeks trying. I promised myself that by the time “The Rat” gets here I am going to have thoughts, dreams, goals and other things written down for myself in both the professional and personal columns of my life. Big, small, tangible, ethereal, they are all going to be there. I am excited about the process of categorizing my life and terribly nervous about implementing the list once it is written.

Wish me luck!
