Positivity
That is my word that encapsulates this year. It started slowly, but the year has been, generally, a year of positive steps for me. I didn’t meet all of my personal goals. But, the year has been a good one for me.
Responsibility – Work has been good. I have a new position with new responsibilities and challenges.
Friendship – my circle of friends has exploded and I’ve realized how lucky I am to have such a large group of caring friends. (Proof of this manifested itself today, my birthday, by the flood of Twitter and Facebook “Happy Birthday” messages I’ve received.)
Family – My daughter was accepted at and is attending Wellesley College outside of Boston.
These three themes are the pillers of the POSITIVITY I feel after looking back at this year.
Rewards
This is the word that encapsulates where I hope to be in a year. I am gearing my life to take some risks. I want to reach out and make a difference. I want to be my own boss. I want to be in a place where, after 46 years, I can take the time to see the world. All of this requires risk taking but it also means being rewarded. Yes, these are lofty goals and, in all reality, not attainable in 12 months. BUT, certainly, with some risk and planning, I will be on the road to attaining these goals and THAT is the Reward.
Time will tell.
