I resolve to...

Resolutions. That is the topic of this post. It seems that conversations which take place the week between Christmas and New Year's are littered with the question: "What are your New Year's resolutions?" I never really put much effort or weight into making resolutions...or keeping them. They were always typical: lose 10 pounds, be more content with my life...blah blah blah. Totally pointless and thoughtless. This year I resolve to make better ones. (Ha!)

1) I will -try- to write more often. Be it stories, poetry, or in a journal (online or otherwise). Even editing would suffice. I want to be more creative. I am going to use the idea of a friend of mine and have set days for writing. Perhaps a routine will help...

2) I am going to figure out what it is I want from my job. I'll have been at BCAA 2 years in the spring. I think now is as good a time as any to decide if I want to continue with this vocation, or take the necessary steps to move on to another.I don't think I'm jumping the gun here. I've been getting constant questions from my manager along the lines of what it is exactly that I want out of BCAA.

3) Do more within Victoria. I live in an amazing city. It has so much to offer in the way of entertainment, museum and art exhibits, and recreation. I hardly take advantage of these things. Most of the time I have the excuse that I can't find anyone who wants to go with me. Unfortunately, not everyone is interested in theatre and art. But if I can treat myself to lunch every so often, why can't I take myself to the theatre. Sometimes I feel I am the best company I can have! It's really too bad that there is a stigma attached to going to the theatre or movies alone.

So, those are my three resolutions. Not too unrealistic. I'll write in a year and tell how I fared!
