New Year, Same Old Resolutions

Alright, here's my list of goals I want to achieve in the new year.

1. Quit Smoking. How: Read positive reiforcing books such as "Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking," and "The Road Less Traveled. And, of course, STOP SMOKING!

2. Move into a new job which is authentic to my needs -- both work related (social services) and monetarily (earn at least 10k more than I currently earn). How: By continuing to send feelers out, keeping my eyes open for job postings and continually revisit the interview in my mind and possible questions that may arise. Hopefully, this will mean I am ready to go to an interview within a moment's notice.

3. Save more money (no more lunches out on a regular basis even if this means P-B-and-Jay every day. Also, by quitting cigarettes, I will save $9.00 every two days).

4. Plan a trip to Freeport, Bahamas to scuba dive as a reward for follwing through on #1 and #3.

5. Write an article (an article, one article, on a topic -- any topic) and submit for publication to a paper ( a paper, any paper). Getting published is not the goal, writing an article good enough to submit is the goal.

Okay, that's plenty for now. Any advice? I'm reaching out here, people -- throw me a bone!
