I am not a real goal-oriented person. I have short-term goals, but no real big goal for my life, besides to help as many people as I can and to do what makes me happy.

I used to have big goals. In high school, my goal was to get into a good college. In college, my goal was to get a job in book publishing after a period of service. I will readily admit that in early years of college I was under the delusion that I would be married when I graduated. I just assumed this would happen. Around junior year I figured out it wasn't going to happen, so adjusted my goals. Now my goals are so broad and open, there is nothing really for me to stick to.

I feel like I have no big plan, so I'm going to try and make one.

1 year - save up and go on a short cruise with my sister
3 years - if still in current rut, move to Albuquerque. Work at a local non-profit.

Every time I talk to Kristina, she tries to get me to move to New Mexico. When I was up there and we were at her in-law's house in Las Vegas, she went through the local want ads reading jobs that I was qualified for. I would love to live in New Mexico and it is certainly affordable (at least in the Albuquerque area).

So there. Now I have something to work towards.
