Here are my plans for 2007. How about everyone else?
1) Finalize my divorce, even if it means accepting an unfair financial settlement.
2) Enjoy DD's last 5 months of high school.
3) Let go of the strings and encourage DD to become independent so that she can succeed in college.
4) Get more involved in church.
5) Evaluate my career options and possibly switch jobs when DD goes off to college.
6) Have fun dating.
7) Don't make any serious relationship commitments for at least one year.
8) Stabalize my finances.
9) Pay off debt (other than DD's college) within 2 years.
10) Continue to grow closer to God.

Learning from your own mistakes creates experience, learning from books creates knowledge, combining the two together creates wisdom => You start with a full bag of luck, and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

Here are mine: 1. Take more time for myself including exercising five days a week. But the exercise is fun: yoga, pilates, walking or ice skating. 2. Be debt free except for the house. (this was last year's project, too, and I'm on track.) I've got nothing else. Two goals is about all I can handle at the moment because these are two that are set in stone. Nothing gets in the way of me becoming debt free. Not even Christmas! I didn't charge a single dime. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Nothing is going to get in the way of me exercising 5 times a week this year. There are other areas I'm trying to improve, but those are more subject to change.

Hey! Looking at it now, I achieve most of what I set out to do last year.
So this year:
Continuous goals:
1. Stay close to God, always
2. Do better at photography
3. Be friendlier to people, make more friends and reach out to those who are unfortunate
4. Eat healthily at least three times a week
6. Update my resume and try for a job overseas
One time goal:
6. Clean the ENTIRE apartment and throw out the junk!
And hopefully:
7. I heal, and someone asks me for a date or something like that!
