Too late for a new year's resolution?

I'll give it a go anyway.

Warning: I have a writing habit of posting random thoughts. This post is really random.

I feel like belly dancing. Seriously. I had a great time belly dancing when I was in Detroit (Yes, I took a couple classes). It was great for fitness, relaxing, surprisingly - something I like doing for exercise. I have a try-out class tomorrow, could only find 1 school somewhat close to where I live (in the country! people don't really "belly dance" around here). The next one would be 1.5 hours away... so I hope I like this one. My goal with this? Improve fitness, have fun and... I want to teach it someday. Yes, you read that right. This is my new "career" goal. I went from "I want to get my doctorate" to "I want to teach belly dance". But wait, it does not stop here!

I also want to teach two other classes. I started certification processes to be able to teach "Baby Signing" (American Sign Language for Babies and their parents), and Suzuki / Early Childhood... which is a method of introducing music to toddlers and little kids. I'm going to Boston, MA two weeks from now to start my music teaching certification, and I have a phone meeting schedule with an ASL curriculum specialist next Wednesday.

One last thing on my list. Became a radio amateur operator (HAM operator). I'll explain why later. I also need write more about the belly dance, ASL and music thing.

I don't know what came over me. It must be the 13.2 lbs I lost since doing Weight Watchers... or I don't know... The weather? Meh...can't be. The fact is... Energy is overflowing. I cleaned my house from top to bottom, with the exception of 2 rooms (that I will clean this next week), I have all this "goals and plans" and I just feel like running a marathon. Maybe I'll start with running a 5k one of this days. I'm not kidding.

God is good and I just feel like dancing.

This is awesome! I've heard great things about belly dancing, enjoy!! (I truly hope you like the closer school). As for the other projects, GREAT as well!! You go girl!! I need to find more projects for my life too. Sigh. I'm too lazy.

Your post is truly inspire. You should blog more -- what about adding that to your list of resolutions? ;) (it is one of my two resolutions: blog more, sleep more -- totally mutually exclusive things!)

I have no idea what my name is in this Google account... it's for my students to send their homework. Whatever, you'll know it's me, I guess.
