thoughts for 2006

2005 was a year of big change for me. Moved across country, worked from home, quit my job, got a new, much better paying job that interests me and will help me grow professionally, got a puppy, moved from a shitty apartment to a house that was very cute at first and now is starting to feel small and inconvenient.

For 2006, I am looking forward to being in a good financial position, where there is money to save, money to play with and some extra money to lower some bills. I want to focus more on things that are important to me: Personal writing, drawing, running, hiking, being healthy.

While I'm not unhealthy at the moment, I know I am not eating the best for my body, and I want to get back to eating very healthy all the time. Not so much to lose weight, but because I know I feel so much better when I am eating well.

I want to explore Portland more, and explore the Pacific Northwest. I am so excited to get to know our area better.

When we move, I want to find the best place for us. I want a good yard for Myra, a kitchen with good counter space, a house with lots of light, close to parks, close to places to walk to for coffee, good storage space, good layout. I am going to work on visualizations, and really focusing on what exactly we want in a house.

I'm excited for the new year. I feel optimistic and energetic. I feel tingling with possibility, with growth, with moving in a good direction.
