(rough idea so I don't forget this one - was very good)

I'm glad to be home (even if I don't like the heat). I'll post more about the great time I had in Melbourne soon. However my time away from here and work has given me some new goals to achieve this year. Here they are (in no particular order).

• Move into a new career path amenable to my career objectives
• Develop a list of career objective/goals and categorise as short, medium or long term
• Settle on a degree to study and complete it - consider studying externally through a university rather than OUA
• Look at moving to Melbourne in the next twelve months
• Start a new hobby
• Attend yoga once a week
• Join Toastmasters
• Go walking for 30 minutes five times a week
• Take some time to smell the roses occasionally

These aren't resolutions. I don't keep resolutions. These are just some things I'd like to do this year. I think I'll print this list out and put it somewhere super visible so I can see it every day.
