This year there are no resolutions, no goals, no deadlines. This year there is a plan, but I’m calling it the 2011 and Beyond Plan. There is a beginning, because everything has to start somewhere, but there is no end. This plan is a life-changing, adapting as time goes by, kind of plan. Because, after all, I know myself and I never, ever, ever stick to goals, resolutions, or any of that New Year’s mumbo jumbo. Mostly, these are just simple things that I want to do more of (things that I should have been doing all along), plus a few new things that I think will bring a nice balance to my life. There are a few goalish sounding things included, but they are there just as reminders of things I would like to accomplish in time.
