My New Years Resolution "2009- The Year of Gettin' er Done"

Happy April! Want to know my New Years Resolution?

OK, OK... I have always been a little behind the times, or way before the times if you look at it like I am prepping for my 2010 resolution.

Anyway, here goes.

First of all, I have a confession. I stole my resolution from Jessica Fletcher (but I understand that she stole it from someone else so I don't feel too bad).

The idea is to do all of the things that I have always said I wanted to do, but never actually gathered the motivation to follow through on. In general I think I am pretty good at living this philosophy out. I have never wanted to be a talker and not a doer, but there are a few areas of my life that I have never really tackled (at least not successfully).

The first is going back to school to pursue a nursing degree. Let's face it, it sucks to work full time and then go to school.

Why would I willingly do that? Well, because I want my job to make a difference in people's lives. I want a job that will always be in demand (just say No! to being laid off). Mostly because I want to be fulfilled by the work that I do. My desk job is great, and in the big picture it does matter, but day to day I am just a paper pusher. And that doesn't make me feel so good.

I can happily report that I am over halfway done with my frist prerequisite! It sucks just as much if not more than I thought it would, but I am doing it. At least there is movement and not just good intentions. And I got an A on my last test!
