All over the internet articles and postings are popping up with decade wrap-ups. I thought I would add my personal list to the masses. (Even though there is still controversy on the way time is counted for such things; take for example the millennium. At least a decade is defined as any arbitrary set of 10 years.)
I have accomplished some amazing things:
- Graduated from high school
- Learned to knit
- Joined a dace company
- Danced in the Nutcracker (a childhood dream)
- Graduated from college
- Attended graduate school (if only for a month or two)
- Attended art school
- Learned to spin
- Learned to crochet
- Married
- Traveled out west
- Started an Etsy shop
- Learned to tat
- Built a house
- Self published a knitting pattern
I have had quite a few job titles:
- Baby sitter
- Ballet instructor
- Faculty and Lab Support Technician
- A/V Multimedia Technician
- Technical Operator
- Office Assistant
- Sales Associate, shoes
- Grader
- Application Developer
- Product Automation Specialist
- Teller
- Software Developer
- Sr. Web Developer
Of course there are many such lists I could make. Seen tons of movies, read a library full of books, made a host of friends, started a lot of projects that I never finished, etc.
What are my personal goals for the next decade? Of course there are things like, get published, write a novel, win the lottery; but really I am just taking things as they come. I found that usually works best. That, and as Brenda Dayne says:
Start as you mean to go on.
