Motivation

So, we're three weeks into 2008 pretty much. Monday is my 27th birthday. 27, living at home with parents, single, no job.

Not the best start to the year.

But this doesn't mean I'm unmotivated. No!

See, things are moving in my life. I've got over the GOTTA GET BACK TO LANCASTER vibe that plagued me for a few months. Its a great city, and a part of my heart will always be there, but there's other places I want to go, other things I want to see and do, other people that I'd like to spend time with.

Let's face it. 30 isn't that far away, and I kinda always hoped that by 30 I'd at least be engaged to a beautiful woman and be thinking about settling down. Sappy I know, but that's me!

Don't get me wrong; I don't have this OH MY GOD I'M GETTING OLD mentality - teaching has kinda kept me a bit younger and a bit more vibrant than all that (wow, maybe it WAS good for me after all!) But, I'm a fan of stability. Always have been. I'm certainly not saying my wild days are past me, but ya know, looking to the future. Its motivating.

Now that's the slightly sad stuff out the way, here's the page of motivational posters that Cat sent me which inspired me to write about motivations in the first place. These are mostly for guys, to be honest, but women might get a kick out of them too ;)
