So all the business books I am reading (as I am pondering becoming an Inc. or opening a priv. practice/consulting gig) blather relentlessly about how one MUST WRITE DOWN goals. and set timelines on said goals. So, OK, that sounds a lot like therapuetic treatment plans so I dig on that. One article noted that some pathetic, puny percentile of the overall population actually take the time to write out clear goals…like 2%.
2005 goals we/I met were: complete triathlon, make a little more $, new job for Pruth, go to Argentina (my first choice was Peru but hey, there are no international psych conferences in Peru and I think P was tired of spending his vacation hiking), organize a brainstorm grp of smart womyn for business support/consulting, increase my public spkg experience and organize my goddamn desk. Hmmm. I guess most of those were met but some only partway (please see my desk). Actually I want,want,want, depserately want a pet as well, preferably a small mammal such as cat or dog but that’s still a no go for the hubby.
Hence, the dozen or so birds and 3 squirrels in the backyard.
Goals for this year:
Get off my butt and open some priv. practive work.
Go back to New Orleans again.
Get thee to Taiwan and improve my Mandarin so I can actually sound more like a person with a doctorate.
Another triathlon, or else a long run race, preferably at a heck of a lot better time than I am currently pacing!
improve my married life by hiring a housecleaner & buying a dishwasher
More public spkg and training
start rock climbing again
keep working on that desk and the file cabinets
cajole P into making my website
start working on him for Peru again…
and most importantly-create another year’s worth of happy memories and photos of good times to treasure.
When we were at Tikal in Guatemala, it was noted that the world would end in 2012. Seems like we’re about headed in that direction, what with mad cow/bird flu/Iran/Iraq/NRA/fundamentalist fanatics/global warming/mercury poisoning/teflon poisoning/etc etc.
I intend to work hard, BUT have a REALLY good time ’til the very end! c’est la vie. My advice: Drink the good coffee,the good wine, don’t eat cheap bread nor cheese, learn how to make at least one great meal, do good for someone who can not repay you, make sure you go to Argentina and lunch at Lola’s before you die!
