Goals

I've had a hard time this year coming up with goals.  Usually I'm all about goal writing at the beginning of a year.  I love lists and crossing things off and feeling accomplished.  This year, however, I felt hesitant.  I was more nervous about putting stuff down on paper than I was eager to achieve.  I didn't want to feel...

dunt dunt duuuhhh

...disappointment.  So I oh-so-wisely decided I wouldn't make any goals this year, and thereby avoid disappointing myself.

Problem is:  I underestimated how wandering aimlessly, free falling with no direction would feel.  As it is now March of 2012, I've decided that aimless/goal-less feels worse than disappointed feels.  So today I made a goal.  A huge, colossal, monumental goal:

From March until December, I'm going to write one snail mail letter per month.

I know...I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew here.  Phew!  Back story:  I love getting personalized (not junk) snail mail.  I even love sending snail mail.  Mostly because it often results in RECEIVING snail mail.  Well, at least it used to.  Economically, environmentally, socially, it is a thing of the past.  It's hardly even necessary in the electronic age in which we now live.  The fact remains, though, I love getting personal mail.

So, to start my goal off right, today I wrote two letters.  Check your mailboxes soon!  You may be one of the lucky ones!

I hardly think this one little goal will solve my directionless/aimless problem, but it's at least a step in the right direction...  Who knows, it may inspire me to come up with MORE goals!
