Hello 2018 and welcome to a world of change. For the last 35+ years I have worked in technology and in various capacities from development to leadership and everything in between. Obviously I have a passion for technology or I would not have thrived in this field for so many years. Why is that important in 2018?
When the New Year starts, it always seems like the perfect opportunity for a new beginning . An opportunity to facilitate change - a reason to focus on winding down some goals and setting new goals. I am determined to set a path for a new journey; a future retirement career in quilting and while I am not sure exactly where I may land, I want to enjoy the journey.
I want to explore the possibilities and not set expectations or an outcome, but enjoy the learning process and discover my passions. Maybe that passion lies somewhere between technology and quilting - wouldn't that be amazing?
For these reasons, I am dubbing 2018, "The Year of Opportunity". I have to be honest, I have a demanding job and that isn't going to change, at least not until I find a new focus. I want that focus to be a passion; something I feel so passionately about that I lose track of time instead of counting the minutes. I want to jump out of bed excited to start my day! And go to bed exhausted, but fulfilled and looking forward to the next day.
Like everyone else, I struggle to find work/life balance. This year, I am starting out with a list of goals and sharing them here to help seal that commitment! Here we go:
My year of opportunity is here and I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me! I hope you will join me and share your thoughts and advice along the way. Welcome 2018! May it be all that you hope it to be!
I am glad we get to have you in Gridsters Bee. Obviously I am just catching up on the blog reading, but it's a beautiful blog, and I love your writing style. Happy new beginnings!
