HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It's been a busy holiday season, and things are just beginning to die down a bit. I'm so excited that it's a new year and I'm trying to grasp at every moment of it, to experience living in this City more fully than I did in the past six months as I've been getting settled. And now that I truly am in at least some senses "settled" I am enjoying New York so much more.
Whenever I think of last year, 2008, I cannot even comprehend what happened. Last year was a bit of insanity for me and for my family... the transitions that we made were crazy! So many moves, so many goodbyes, so many new experiences, and a growing number of new friends. I don't know what 2009 is going to be like, but I know that it must be somewhat calmer than 2008. I can only hope.
Other than that, I've tried to make some New Year's resolutions, but I'm beginning to think more and more that maybe I should actually make some longer term goals that are more tangible than the sentiments of New Year's Resolutions. I'm contemplating making a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days... mainly focusing on doing things in New York and the surrounding area as well as a few self improvement deals, etc. I was inspired by my friend James... I'll let you know if I ever actually have time to make a list, but I'm hopeful.
