Presents are (always) great, but nothing ever beat that anticipation of going trying sleep on Christmas Eve.  As I’ve gotten older that anticipation dulled.  But never for New Years Eve.

I have that childish sense of anticipation now.  There is something new right around the corner; 2010, new and unknown.

Like a lot of people I paused this week and took stock of 2009.  What did I do right?  What did I do wrong?  What could I have done better?

Hindsight is 20/20.  And life seems a lot clearer now that you’ve made it over all the bumps (for the year anyways).

Resolutions came to mind, but  I decided against them.  I have goals.  Substantive goals  for this year and life, until I drop.  I ‘d rather just show you what I can accomplish, though.  Also, this post by Derek Sivers dissuaded me from wanting to share.

The just of the post is this quote:

Announcing your plans to others satisfies your self-identity just enough that you’re less motivated to do the hard work needed.

 

So, I promise in 2010, as I knock through (or am close to knocking through) my goals, I’ll share them here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
