End of year
We had a great Christmas. Stayed at home as usual. This year we scaled back in the present giving/getting department. Just didn’t seem right in the economic climate to get too much. But I am sure retailers are saying we should have spent more to support the economy. Never quite sure who to please. But I still felt like I got wayyyy too much.
I think for the coming New Year I have some goals. Get a job to match my new Real Estate license. My brain is most times a mystery to me. It would seem at first glance that being a real estate agent wouldn’t be a good match for me, but I feel a strange gut instinct that I am going down the right path. And I have to go with my gut. The gut wins out over brain in most instances. And I need to paint more. A lot more. Don’t know how that will fit in with working at a job, probably not well. And, I really want to start working more on videos and editing. Way back in the land of college. I really, really wanted to go into film. Loved the classes on acting and directing for television that were joint classes between the film and theater departments. The MAJOR problem with taking more film classes was the money issue… when you are supporting yourself through college through loans and work, you can’t just willy-nilly take classes. Class decisions are based on 1) can I afford the books? and 2) can I afford the equipment and lab fees to take the class?. Crap, I couldn’t even afford a 35 mm camera, let alone a book and paying to develop the film I did take. (this was before cheap ass digital cameras…. think ginormous vhs cameras). Now, anyone can make a movie with simple video equipment bought from walls-mart.
I think you’re right go with your gut. I usually do and I usually don’t regret the experience. Make a list of other things you’d like to explore during the next couple of decades. That way you’re not letting go of any dreams, you’re just postponing them. Mindy
