I was about to write a whole year-in-review type post, but then remembered that I did something similar last birthday. I still maintain that the keyword for this new year is “progression.”
I was in no mood to stay up to watch televised countdowns. Instead, I was curled up in bed with a good book. I wanted to willfully diminish all the fuss related to the new year, but, I guess you really can’t escape from it.
For most of yesterday, I was feeling down. As much as there were great blessings in 2006, I felt that there was also a lot that wasn’t accomplished. I don’t think it would normally have bothered me, but it’s like this time of year encourages navel-gazing. I gave in. So yeah, I felt like a bit of a failure for whatever reason. I also felt like I was likely going to maintain the status-quo in the new year. I keep saying it, and I’ll say it again: I can’t see that far into my future. In previous years, this wasn’t too much of an issue since I at least had general goals to strive for, like finishing work terms and reaching graduation. Now? I don’t know–there are no longer any obvious milestones. I’m driving blind, you know?
Bah. I guess I should let go of this attitude. Is there any reason to really fret if nothing has been written yet? Hum. I guess I’ll have to revisit all of this when December 31st rolls around again.
