Welcome to My World!

I live by lists, which help keep me organized and focused. So, now that I'm writing this first post for my new blog, I will soon cross off one of the 25 or so items on my list for the holiday season (Check! There we go! Next on the list: Meet a friend for lunch tomorrow.). I've always believed that having a longer-than-usual break from work as the one I'm enjoying now offers me an opportunity to catch up on things I've been meaning to do for weeks (like this) and things that allow me to plan ahead, like rebalance my investment portfolio and start the process of filling out financial aid forms for my daughter, who will enter college in 2008.

No doubt, there's a lot of similar stuff going on out there. Corporations establish their goals for the next year as they push toward the end of the current one, and many are working on and refining their resolutions or goals for the new year. Anyone for losing weight? In the market for a new job or strategic career move? Feel free to share. All communiques answered.
