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

Last year I set a lot of lofty goals for myself. Let us see how I did on my goals.

I AM GONG TO MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE. It is time for me to put the past behind me. I have not been this happy is just a long time.

I have definitely have done this. I am a different person than I was a year ago.

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, I have restarted my relationship with my daughter. We have our ups and downs but are pretty happy.

I am going to do a Project 365. I need to use the left part of my brain more. I enjoyed doing it in the past and it made me think and develop my style a lot more.

I failed this. I was taking images every day but feel behind in the posting. I gave up in October.

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 partial failure. While I did not get to NYC I was able to got o Miami Beach. This was exactly what the doctor ordered. I was able to do some street photography on Halloween night. If all goes well, I will be in Miami again on Halloween this year.

Going to continue taking Yoga classes. (After my knee recovers from the minor strain)

I failed this. But on the plus side, I have started riding my bike. I rode almost 500 last year and plan on doing more next year.

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

I had 2 different images in Gallery Shows. One was at the Griffin and the other one was at Hunts Photo. It was in group shows, my goal is to have a solo show.

I am going to be more appreciative of the little things in my life.

This is a work in progress

I am not going to sweat the small shit any more

This is a work in progress. I am improving.

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.

I am going to eat healthier. I have been doing this lately but there is always room for improvement.

Big YES here. I bought myself a juicer and love it.

"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 blog more.

I failed here.

Over all I am pretty happy with what I accomplished last year. These are more goal for this year

I am going to continue to build my relationship with my daughter
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)
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 continue taking 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 to myself. I had an old camera converted to Infra Red and plan on having some fun with it.

Thanks for visiting and happy shooting!
