Every year I make a list. I don't know that I would call it a New Year's Resolution list though. It's a list I make toward the end of the year in preparation for the year to come. All the things I hope to accomplish. (ok, yes, this is starting to sound like a Resolution list...) Sometimes these goals are personal, sometimes they're for my business. And to be honest, sometimes I don't always achieve them. But I make them none-the-less. They give me something to work towards, to motivate myself to do something more and sometimes greater than I thought I was capable of.
This year's list was simple. It only contained one goal. But for me, that was enough. I wanted to go to Paris.
I've been dreaming about this trip for as long as I can remember. Even my family will attest to that. Sometimes I thought I'd never actually go, that the pictures I had would only ever be that: someone else's pictures. But then this year happened. My life found a new balance and distant goals didn't seem so unachievable anymore. I suddenly found myself with someone beside me who shared those goals.
So tomorrow we go, my best friend and I, on a trip that seems like a dream I still haven't woken from.
