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.
