Here I am on inauguration day thinking about everything but. It feels like I’ve decided not to go to a big party.
I woke up last night several times with a racing mind. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how you’re always laying the foundation for something, whether you know it or not. In the past, I have been much more aware of that, and as a result, more purposeful, driven in my decisions. I am trying to get back to that point.
It’s funny how working toward a specific goal forces you to buckle down. This past year, being out of grad school, has perhaps been my most unfocused year in a long time. For this reason, I am glad to have committed to a few goals.
I have decided to be forgiving with myself when it comes to fulfilling my goals. After all, if these things were easy to me, I wouldn’t have to set goals about them. Today, I am proud to have done a few things that are concrete steps in the direction I’m headed.
However, I am a bit fearful that I am sounding like a book in the 158.1s.
