The Boulder: a New song for the New Year from Colleen Wainwright. (This has been kind of a tradition for me.)
Note:This song is frank in nature and might upset a few of you guys. (C’est la vie)
And yes, I posted the same video last year.
“A new year is upon us, it’s a time for hope and cheer. A chance to do things differently then you how you did last year.” Colleen Wainwright
The last couple of years I have set some goals. Let us see how I am doing.
- I am going to restart my relationship with my daughter. I feel so sorry for her. She has been caught in the middle of a nasty situation and I want to make it up to her.
Yes, this is completed. (As much as I can for a teenage daughter)
- I am going to take a trip to New York City and do some street photography. This has been on my bucket list for a while and I am going to make it happen.
This is a failure. The goal is to leave work on a Thursday night and take the train and spent a day or two in NYC.
- Going to continue taking Yoga classes. (After my knee recovers from the minor strain)
Again I have failed this. But on the plus side, I have started riding my bike. I rode in the PMC and the NF ride. (doing over 1,650 miles)
- Going to network more. Both in my professional life as well as my personal.
I have done this. I need to do a little more of it thou. I have joined a Photography Meetup Group and having fun.
- I am going to have a gallery show. I am not sure where and/or when but it will happen
Complete failure. I might be getting a gallery show at the Griffin
- I am going to be more appreciative of the little things in my life.
This is a work in progress. I am going to read the book the Four Agreements
- I am not going to sweat the small shit any more
This is a work in progress. I am improving. (see above)
- I am going to continue to nurture that inner peace that I recently found. I am liking the new me and I do not want to go backwards.
Same here. There is always room for improvement. (see above)
- I am going to eat healthier. I have been doing this lately but there is always room for improvement.
Failed here. Even thou I have been riding a lot, still gained weight.
- “The meaning of life is to give life a meaning.” I know that is more a statement than a goal but I think it has an important message.
This is a work in progress.
- I am going to study Buddhism. I have been doing this a little and want to continue. (this will help with my inner peace search as well)
This is a work in progress. I am currently reading Buddha Walks into the Office. I also have lined up Buddha Walks into a Bar and Walk Like a Buddha. All of these books are written by Lodro Rinzler. You should check him out. Plus I have countless other books to read.
- I am going to blog more.
I failed here.
Over all I am pretty happy with what I accomplished last year.
Goals for 2015. (Hell or high water these will be done)
- I am going to take a trip to New York City and do some street photography. This has been on my bucket list for a while and I am going to make it happen.
- Going to take some Yoga classes.
- Going to network more. Both in my professional life as well as my personal.
- I am going to have a gallery show. Hopefully a solo show.
- I am going to play with my Christmas gift from last year. I had an old camera converted to Infra Red and plan on having some fun with it.
Thanks for visiting and happy shooting!
