Taking 2006 by Storm

It is only 1 day into 2006 and already I am planning to ride out the year in a chaotic way. I am in the process of re-vamping my resume which, once sent, will plunge us headlong into uncertain territory as we decide which of the family needs would be served by what actions. I know it all sounds vague and clear as mud but if anything is clear it is that this year will be filled with uncertainty.

Some people look back on the previous year and re-hash and re-live the moments of clarity, moments of unrest, moments of great joy and moments of unbearable sorrow. In the same vein, as I re-write my resume, I cast my thoughts back upon the places I have been, the person I was at various points of life. I think about how odd it might be to work at the places I once did, knowing now what I know, how much growth has been achieved as I have moved forth in time. While I am sure that it is perfectly natural to do this reminiscing over this document, it feels funny to me, especially as I am simultaneously looking forward, projecting and trying to view the long term consequences of any decisions that may be made.

As with year-in-reviews, it feels uncanny that time has gone by so fast, that I could have crammed so much in so little time, and as I look to what this new year will bring, I see endless possibilities.
