Two thousand and eleven has begun. With it we each get a new blank slate. I've been getting excited about what might be put on my slate this year. It's been a while since I've gotten excited about a new year. But after a few years of hard slog, I have a renewed sense of possibility and hope. I thought that this might be a passing phase, since this feeling started about two weeks ago, but it hasn't subsided. I actually found myself writing down goals and planning out activities that will help me be healthy and productive in the next twelve months. But it has helped me to think about the next seven years as well. Why seven years? Well, because in a few days I'll celebrate my seventh wedding anniversary. The first seven years have been great, but I know I can do better. So I'm starting this year with a few small changes, but I'm thinking long term about the big changes I want to make in life - changes in relationships, attitudes, finances, health, and career.
So I ask you, what's on your blank slate for 2011? Have you already chalked out the next few days, weeks and months? If it seems too overwhelming thinking about the next seven years and dream of what might be possible. Happy New Year!
