As you may recall, I am not much for new year's resolutions. Four year later, the everyday resolutions of awareness, openness, healthy living, organization and creativity still mean a lot to me. I want to be challenged every day to make a positive change. Like most people, I get bogged down by the mundane.
I appreciate the symbolism, the hope of better times, of a new year. In no particular order, the past year and a few possibilities for 2011.
A look back:
I was sick with sinus/allergies/colds for over two months.
Applied to many jobs. Had a few interviews.
