Here comes yet another new year

Here we are at the rise of a new year. As always I choose to begin the new year with a resolution or some sort of goal that I intend to meet that year. It's not that January 1st should be the only time for setting goals... but the beginning of a new year is symbolistic in that it signifies a fresh start. With that fresh start comes opportunities to achieve your goals, try new things, whatever takes a bite of your cake I say.
Anyways, I've decided to start this new year off with a few goals. One of which was to move. Yes I know, I move more often then anyone I know. I think it's in part because I have a hard time finding a place to call home, but of course I have my other reasons. I've given my 30 day notice and I'm packing up again. I really liked the family I was living with, but that's the thing. I was living with a family and in a family-like setting. I really need to be living in a more roommate situation with people my own age and I'd really like to be able to pay less rent and get started working towards my future career as a dog behavioral specialist/trainer. That is my so called New Year's Resolution as some would put it. Though it is of my opinion that goals and resolutions shouldn't be limited to only being made at the breaking of a New Year.
I do want to start this year with a clean slate. I have goals. I have passion hobbies that I want to take advantage of now while I'm still young and have all the time in the world to do so. I have ideas that I want to flirt with to see what I can mold the thoughts into. There's so much I want to accomplish this year... and not only this year, but every year from this point forward. Every moment I want to spend working hard to achieve the passions I have in life.
One thing I run into is that I have so many passions. Anyone who knows me knows this. I'm a complete dreamer. I'd like to think it secretly runs in the family, but no one else chooses to admit that they too dream. I ride horses. I kayak. I draw. I paint. I write. I photograph. I love working with dogs. Agility. I love to camp. I love to hike. So many passions that I don't know where to start. The fact that I'm good at many things reminds me of something my Grandpa used to always say to us kids before he passed on. It is better to be good at many things then to be great at just one. Those words will escort me and stick by my side for the remainder of my life.
Anyways... there's my little unfinished tid bit for the day. I really have to get back to work. Way too much to catch up on after the holidays. I want to wish everyone a happy new year. Challenge yourselves this year. Meet a goal. Love a little and laugh a lot. I love you all!
