2004: A Year of Building

Jim has an interesting way of looking at things. He recently asked what I thought of 2004 'on balance.' I've never really thought about it that way and I gotta say: I really wasn't that impressed.

It's not that anything really, really bad happened or anything really, really great. It was just kind of blah.

I finished my MBA.
I ended the longest romantic relationship of my life.
I realized that I am actually 27 years old.
I completed my first year as a home-owner.
I made some new friends.

2004 really just kind of lacked any real drive toward any major goals. (I don't count my MBA because that was a terribly disappointing experience overall.) At the same time, I didn't experience any major setbacks. But at the same time, I did get a few things done that needed to be done in order to get ready for the next steps, whatever they may be.

So, although I consider 2004 to be somewhat of a wash, I'm calling it the "Year of Building" to just say that it was really a lot about getting ready for motion, rather than the motion itself.

2005 is anticipated to contain some rather significant drama. I'll keep you posted on that.
