Year 30

As with most milestones in life, I tend to go through a state of reevaluation. Am I where I wanted to be at this point in my life? What will the next year bring? Am I going to regret any decisions I have made? Well not this year! This time I have decided to take a more proactive approach. I have composed a list of attainable goals that I want to complete by the end of Year 30. Now granted some of the goals will be a continual work in progress past Year 30, but this is the year that I have chosen to focus on improving those aspects of my life.

And yes, this blog is one of my goals for Year 30. I chose this as one of my goals because it is not something that I would normally consider doing. Maybe this will be my new expressive media. Or maybe it will just get my creative juices flowing again. Above all else, what it will be is a documentation of Year 30.

Now I intend on posting a new entry at least once a week for the remainder of the year with random thoughts or ideas and updates on my progress with my goals. I will go ahead and apologize now for any personal or over the top statements that might be made in the future. Sometimes I get a little carried away and the internal filter shuts down. Nevertheless, I do plan on following through with this blog discussing whatever it is that comes to mind while at the keyboard. That, I am afraid to say, will be the hardest task. Random thoughts pop into my head all day long, but as soon as I go to type about it, my mind goes blank.......... Sorry I just went blank for a minute. OK maybe I didn't go blank. I just got a little distracted by the Food Network. Distracted by Giada to be exact. Maybe that will be a topic for another blog entry.

Oh, I guess I should state the rest of my goals. They are the following:

1. Become a better dad/husband (what dad doesn't need this one as goal)

2. Finish my licensing exams

3. Train for a marathon

4. Start a blog

5. Start a new business

6. Save more money

They don't sound to rough do they? Well wish me luck as I start Year 30.
