Being without my cable internet connection yesterday sure made me realize how much I appreciate it when it works. What the heck is a Geek supposed to do without a connection? How can I get my fix?! I was having withdrawl symptoms, since I wasn’t able to do much of anything. I spent a good part of today catching up, though, and seeing what everyone is talking about.

My friend Renee sent me a list of questions, designed to help me reflect on the past year, and set some clear goals for the coming one. I’m including the questions, so that all of you can answer them for yourselves, as well. Unfortunately, I cannot answer all of these on a video, or it would be a few hours long. But these really made me think, and I’m very glad Renee sent them. I’m definitely interested in hearing your answers, as well.
Completing 2007:

  • What was your biggest triumph in 2007?
  • What was the smartest decision you made in 2007?
  • What one word best sums up and describes your 2007 experience?
  • What was the greatest lesson you learned in 2007?
  • What was the most loving service you performed in 2007?
  • What is your biggest piece of unfinished business in 2007?
  • What are you most happy about completing in 2007?
  • Who were the three people that had the greatest impact on your life in 2007?
  • What was the biggest risk you took in 2007?
  • What was the biggest surprise in 2007?
  • What important relationship improved the most in 2007?
  • What compliment would you liked to have received in 2007?
  • What compliment would you liked to have given in 2007?
  • What else do you need to do or say to be complete with 2007?

Creating 2008:

  • What would you like to be your biggest triumph in 2008?
  • What advice would you like to give yourself in 2008?
  • What is the major effort you are planning to improve your financial results in 2008?
  • What would you be most happy about completing in 2008?
  • What major indulgence are you willing to experience in 2008?
  • What would you most like to change about yourself in 2008?
  • What are you looking forward to learning in 2008?
  • What do you think your biggest risk will be in 2008?
  • What about your work are you most committed to changing and improving in 2008?
  • What is one as yet undeveloped talent you are willing to explore in 2008?
  • What brings you the most joy and how are you going to do or have more of that in 2008?
  • Who or what, other than yourself, are you most committed to loving and serving in 2008?
  • What one word would you like to have as your theme in 2008?

Bill sent me a list of some excellent tips to follow after the Holidays are over and gone. If you think before you do… and then actually DO what you thought… your life next year might just be happier.

  • Don’t groan when the credit card bills roll in from the holiday shopping. You know it was money well spent. Of course, when shopping, always look for the best deals, and coupons. Try to stay away from “impulse buying”, as well. Plan your budget, make a list of who to buy for and ideas for them, and be done with it.
  • Look at the new year as being full of new opportunities and experiences. Apply yourself, and watch how much you can grow and change as a person.
  • Don’t focus your resolutions only on yourself. Dedicate at least one to doing something to make the world better, and KEEP doing it throughout the year.
  • Shake the hand of any man or woman you meet who works in a life-saving occupation, including law enforcement, health care personnel, and military members. Let them know how much what they do is appreciated.
  • Remember… love, joy and friendship isn’t only about the holidays. Keep them going all year long.

Random acts of kindness can go a long way to making this world a much better place.
