Dear Me 2024 Version

Dear Me

I have a lot of goals this year.

Travel

First I want to take a trip someplace warm in February, perhaps Thailand.

then off to the States from July to October.

Oregon, Northern California possible side trip to Washington State or LA particularly if Chongnam joins us.

perhaps a local trip before leaving for the States – Japan or local road trip.

I want to become an Oregon resident this summer and finally get an estate plan together setting up a family trust or foundation to put my properties into.

then off to attend my 50th High School reunion in October.

Creativity I have lots of plans

first, continue to write daily
second continue to blog weekly including Blog Lovin, fan story, medium, substack, Wattpad, and writing com.

third continue to edit my past work

Fourth submit some chapbooks

fifth consider self-publishing my poetry and novels

six finish a collection of Short Stories

continue to play music getting into sonatas by this summer.

In November I will compete again in NaNoWriMo writing either Gods Roommate, or Future Histories

I will learn how to create a video blog and add that to my weekly routine during the weekend when I update my blog.

I will launch a bi-weekly newsletter


I will read at least 150 books, one book per week focusing on the classics, at least one will be in Korean, and one in Spanish.

I will watch at least 100 movies and TV shows. I will watch one K drama series or movie per week, the rest will be a mixture of Hollywood recent movies, and classic movies. I will watch at least one or two Spanish movies one to two Bollywood movies, and one to two operas. When traveling to the States will watch ten movies on the plane and three to five in the movie theater.

Health goals:


get new dentures

figure out what is causing my neuropathic pain in my foot and what is causing the bone density to build up in my back.

continue daily exercise, particularly the Pilates ball.

Financially

I want to not only set up an estate plan but begin downsizing my real estate holdings.


lastly, want to continue every day loving my wife.
