Looking Forward

[shinydan]

(again, lifted from saintmaryuk)

For the first part of this meme, I challenged you to look back, and to think of 10 good things you have done in 2004. Now, in part 2, your challenge is to think of 9 good things you want to do in 2005, perhaps to act as a basis for some New Year resolutions.

But, there’s a twist; leave the 10th one blank, post 9 in your LJ, then let your friends make suggestions for a 10th good thing that you could do in 2005.

It will be interesting to see what my friends think a good resolution for me would be.

So, my 9 ideas so far are:

1) Successfully complete the journalism course I received as a birthday gift (thank you everyone!) and hence begin making a living from writing. Some travel may be required.
2) Lose some weight, and exercise more (at least five times a week in total)
3) Finish in the top quarter of a Magic: The Gathering tournament with more than 8 people in it
4) Have at least 20 songs I can play on my guitar to performance standard and be able to sing to 10 of them
5) Read, watch and listen to a far wider selection of media than I do at the moment (could well be tied in with (1))
6) Become involved in the Manchester LGBT community
7) Become more involved in the UK Polyamory community
8) Learn to become more relaxed and at peace with my place in the world (through masterly inactivity if that's what it takes)
9) Think bigger.

So, go on, what should my tenth be?

10)

And now post your top 9 goals for 2005 in your LJ so I can come up with a 10th for you.

10) Work on raising your self-esteem: Specifically, believe in yourself and your power to get things done, try to feel less paraanoid, and stop saying sorry ;-)

Good luck with the rest - you can do it!
