Looking Ahead to 2025

January 1, 2025

This is going to be a year of big changes.

Goals for 2025

My goals this year will be primarily setting new habits.

I started guitar lessons in December. I plan to continue practicing every day, excepting some holidays or travel.

Also on the creative side, I want to develop a painting habit. This will probably be less frequent than guitar, but I still want to paint at least once a week.

Continuing from last year's success with going alcohol-free, I will expand this to make Q1 and Q3 entirely alcohol-free. I expect this will have positive side effects.

For exercise, I'm getting back on the horse, as it were. I plan on setting a daily walking habit. I also hope to start jogging again, and complete at least one 5K.

Thoughts for 2025

Politically, the USA is likely to experience some upheaval this year. I hope nothing catastrophic comes of it. We'll see.

While it's not a goal, I'd like to pay more attention to finances this year and end the year with much more savings.

In 2025 I expect my life to change for the better as I devote myself to more physical and creative activities, and I'm very much looking forward to fostering a dog soon.
