Happy New Year!

It's the first day of 2010 & as I sit here waiting for my breakfast I thought I'd type a quick post to wish you all a great new year. I had intended to post last night before I went out but our cocktail hour got started a bit early so it didn't happen.

2009 has been an interesting year, that's for sure! It didn't start out so well, with the loss of JournalSpace and four years of my blog, but the need to move on and start again meant that I had the chance to make new friends through a new blog & site.

In Case of Emergency started out as a blog to chronicle my journey through airline recruitment and has become a window into the world of my fellow crew and passengers alike. I enjoy writing and connecting with you all and the support everyone has given me through comments, emails and new friendships has been fantastic! I've even made 'real-world' friends and hope to do more of that in 2010.

With new beginnings in mind, I've come up with some resolutions for a few different aspects of my life. Most of them are changes I aim to make, rather than specific numbers or things to do, but regarding my blog I've come up with some more measurable goals which 'd like to achieve.

TT's Blogging Goals for 2010

1) Be more committed to updating & maintaining my blog, being more professional & less "hobby" about it.

2) Work more on my writing & content. The tie in with Ciao Bella Travel has been a really fun experience for me and I hope to build on it and other similar things in 2010.

3) Get serious about my plans for a business related to my blogging. Sit down and come up with definite plans I can do to make this work alongside my job.

4) Build on the relationships & friendships I've made through my blog and Twitter.

5) Enjoy what I do!!! :)

Hope you all had a great New Year's Eve, wherever you were, and I wish you a happy, healthy & fantastic year ahead for 2010 :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome to 2009

Well we're 1 day in to the New Year and I'm excited!!!

I'm looking forward to putting a few things behind me (namely, moving on from past relationships and focusing on new ones), pursuing new opportunities at work and the economy permitting, I also hope to travel! I've put off booking my trip a little longer to see what happens at my airline, the next few months will tell if I'l lstill have a job and then I can go from there.

Seeing as it's the 'done thing' (and I wanted to do it anyway) here are my 'points to work on' for this year. I'm trying to be realistic here, so instead of 'Dont do x', I'll say 'Do more of Y' =)

* Try to make healthier choices in food, but still indulge evry so often :p

* Do something social at least once every week (not stay in so much)

* Work on getting to know myself more, what I want out of life & to do in the future

* Start putting money into my super/pension at least once a month

* Go on a 'big' holiday, preferably to Europe but at least to one of my 'must-see' places

* Start to learn a language (maybe French as flatmate wants to as well, which would help)

* Try to start dating (properly) again- just to meet new people and see what happens

* Research into starting a small online business- what, how and if it would work


Well, I just realised what a big list that is! Whew, at least it will keep me busy and out of mischief!

My first pic for 2009 is this cool light installation on a building, isn't it fabulous?


Soon, I will be taking off again, my first full trip for this new year. As we head into a fresh dawning year, I hope 2009 brings all that you hope for!
