of 2009 to ya!

Nothing like the end of a decade to make you stop and think about the past.  In the last 10 years I have started high school, graduated high school, start colleged, graduated college, gotten married and gotten a real, big-person job.  That’s a lot in 10 years.  And some of it is of mild importance!

But, I have to say, that I am not too unhappy about this year coming to an end.  This decade, while riddled with good times for sure, was not a very happy time for me.  I have been floundering the last few years and really need to find a sense of purpose and a place to belong.  Now, some would say that I belong in my family and starting a new one with Husband would be the next, logical step.  Some would say that I need to throw myself into my work because that is where our livelyhood is going to come from.  Others would say that I need to do only that which would make me happy and give me lasting memories of joy.

Ideally, I would like to do all of that.  And then some.

Here are some goals, in no particular order, of things that I would like to do, and see happen, in the next 10 years:

• Get into a graduate school for Sex Therapy or Marriage and Family Therapy
• Start a family
• Get new carpeting in our current house
• Psychologist job at the VA hospital or Private Practice on either of the coasts
• Get a new house
• Volunteer at the local Humane Society
• Get Hubby a new car
• Take a nice vacation, every other year
• World Peace

Okay, so that last one is kind of a stretch, but it’s a worthwhile goal to be sure.  I don’t want to have to move to Canada to avoid a draft. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
