Off to a good start

Not blog-wise, but life-wise. I’m feeling pretty good about this year. There were a lot of new experiences in 2007 but 2008 promises to be even better. There are so many things I want to get better at, and so many more things I’ve always wanted to do that I’ve never had the opportunity to do before.

Some things I want to get better at: writing (working with a professional writer now - lots to learn), tennis (thickened my skin to ask a friend to teach me), communicating (practicing by meeting new people), surfing (in Hawaii!)

Things I want to try: self-defense, snow boarding, roller blading/skating, getting outside the office more often

If there’s one thing I learned from last year, it’s to grab an opportunity to do something new, even if you’re a little nervous at first. It always pays off, even if the experience itself is less than stellar. It’s all about how everything adds up, although the small bits that make up the sum do make it interesting.
