I am ringing in the new year just like everybody else- spending hours at the gym, undergoing a diet overhaul, setting new careers goals, making travel plans.

This year is starting on the left foot.  I am plunging into this year like none before- namely like a normal person.  The motivation behind my normality is because of the current status of unemployment- a theme that will come up occasionally over the coming months until I solidify any future career plans.

Today I am not going to dwell on the events of the past, I will save that burden for the future.  For now, I am looking forward to hearing more from Marigold, I am looking forward to having a healthy relationship with future career endeavors, I am hoping that good luck will shine some golden rays this way.

This year is about setting new goals that at benefit my personal growth rather than my career trajectory.  This year I am starting out the year wanting to get in shape and sharpen my creative eye.  I have a lot of yoga to practice, a lot of laps to swim, many colored pencils to wear down, a lot of clicking on my computer keyboard to tap.  I have a lot of music that needs to be listened to, I have a lot of meals that need to be cooked, I have a lot of pictures that need to be taken, a lot of ink that needs to be spilled.  I have a lot of work to do, and not a lot of money to make.

This is a year of rebuilding and I am just tickled to see what unfolds.
