One of the things we decided to do each 6 months, each location, is to clarify our intentions or goals for the upcoming period. Here are mine, placed here in writing for an extra measure of accountability.
These all have a deadline of May 16, 2012:
- Complete a business plan for a new business. (figure out my next career / way to make money for living).
- Be able to speak and understand Spanish at an intermediate conversational level. (Hay mucho de oportunidades en Miami para practicando espanol)
- Lose at least ten pounds. (this should be very do-able in Miami Beach, land of the beautiful people, healthy food, warm weather and ample opportunity to exercise.)
I really like the 6 month cycle for this vs. a year as we do with resolutions. Things seem more urgent, and it also seems like I need to focus more, finally realizing at the age of 45 that I cannot do everything! I had a long list of goals and wishes, but I decided to narrow it down to 3. And, #1 and #2 are related in a way as I believe I will need #2 in order to do #1.
I also intend to stay in connection with friends in other places and to put myself out there a bit more than I’m naturally inclined to do to meet new friends here. There is no measurable goal here, this is just something I want to keep in mind and act on daily.
So, here we go.... 180 degrees version 1. We’ll see how it goes, revise and repeat in 6 months.
