As soon as I got caught up on the Reverb 10 prompts, I got behind again. Oops!! ;o)
The prompt for December 17th was: Lesson Learned. What was the best thing you learned about yourself this past year? And how will you apply that lesson going forward?
The best thing that I learned about myself this year is that I am more capable of change than I previously thought. I am no longer a proverbial spring chicken, and I think that, in general, many people get more and more set in their ways as they get older. However, this year I learned that I can change if I really want to. I don't even know what prompted me to focus on creating change, but somehow I managed to change a lot about myself physically, mentally, and emotionally. I hope to carry this forward into 2011 so that I will be even more balanced and happier than I have been in 2010!
The prompt for December 18th was: Try. What do you want to try next year? Is there something you wanted to try in 2010? What happened when you did / didn’t go for it?
The one thing that I really want to try next year is that I want to learn Spanish. In high school, I had no choice in the matter, and I was assigned to take French classes. I have been vaguely wanting to learn Spanish for some time now, but the urge has gone stronger in recent years. Tom and I want to take a trip to Barcelona (yes, I know there is a different dialect there) and other Spanish-speaking countries. Plus, I think it's just a great skill to have! I have free access to Rosetta Stone through my job now, so 2011 is the year to get started in earnest!!!
I have to admit that there wasn't anything that I really wanted to try in 2010, and it makes me a little sad. But I am happy to have a new challenge to tackle in 2011!
