Going Forward

GOING FORWARD

It’s been a while since I’ve been completely devoted to my blog. Going forward, I have every intention of changing that. We have arrived at a new year, a time for new beginnings, new resolve and, more or less a clean slate. It would be easy to simply sit back and dwell in the past—with all its disappointments and frustrations. Let’s face it—if you are reading this, you know what an incredibly arduous year 2010 was for me on just about every level imaginable.

While I haven’t completed my list of resolutions for the New Year at this point—and yes, I’m keenly aware we are almost a week into the new year—there are several general areas on which I plan to focus this year. I plan to focus with a deeper zeal my time at the piano. I plan to learn six to twelve classical pieces for piano this year. That gives me one or two per month on which to focus. I plan to focus on health. I’ll be hitting the gym again in the next week or so. While my time at the gym is not something incredibly strenuous, I know it is something I must do. I’m going to more on the people in my life. Hopefully, Mr. Right will come along this year. Deep in my heart I feel there is a strong possibility. I’m committed to my life of introspection. From introspection my life grows, I grow. I’m also committing to being more on top of my finances. And, last, but not least, I’m renewing my commitment to blogging on a more regular basis.

Here’s my confession: 2010 dealt a lot of really tragic blows and difficult moments. A relationship ended, a job ended. Through it all, I have found so much peace, comfort and love. I’m ready to move forward and make 2011 a year that counts—one of those banner years in my lie. Going forward, expect a lot more peace, lot more of all things bright and beautiful!
