Although 2008 was really hard on me (as it may have been for you), I told myself this year wasn’t going to go the same way. In the past, I never used the beginning of the year to set any goals for myself. But, times change, so I sat down and decided to come up with an idea. The idea I selected was to start traveling more this year. To ensure I followed through on this, I started making plans right away.
I’m happy to be able to report that I just recently returned from the trip to New Jersey that I booked in January. Since I booked my trip at the beginning of the year, my New Jersey rental car and everything else needed for my trip was already good to go. Being able to get my New Jersey rental car as soon as I arrived and then not having any worries really made me feel refreshed during my trip. These positive feelings had a significant impact on me, and I realized that by continuing to stick with my original goal, I will be able to experience them again.
One thing to keep in mind is that even though I have returned from New Jersey, this was just the beginning of the trips that I am going to take this year. I haven’t decided where I am going to go on my next trip, but I do know I will be taking at least two more trips this year (I hope I can pull off three, but we will have to see about that), and wherever they end up taking me should be a very enjoyable adventure.
