Of all the goals I set for myself in 2009, I can honestly say that I only met one of them, which was to work in a series. For me, 2009 was all about getting back on my feet and reclaiming my life after 2008, which I officially labeled The Worst Year of My Life. That said, I think 2009 was one of my most successful years EVER because I grew a lot as a person. I feel like such a completely different girl than I was just one year ago and I think my family or anyone else who really knows me well would say the same.
There are tons of things that I want to get done in 2010 and I have a mental as well as physical list of all of them. However, I know that I tend to be too ambitious when setting my goals so I am going to make things very simple for 2010. My first art goal is to Put in More Hours and my second goal is to Get Rid of Stuff (or Purge and Purify). The first goal is obvious, but the reason why I am designating Get Rid of Stuff as an art goal is because I have noticed that the clutter in my physical environment is severely hampering my art making activities. Besides the extra work of having to clear out all the junk before I even start on a project, all the clutter around me is causing an anxious emotional state in me which is mentally exhausting. If I am even moderately successful with these two goals (which I know I will be), I will be very happy come this time next year.
I hope everybody has as good of a year as I’m going to have!
