Geocaching as Life

As this is my first post, I thought it best to provide some initial thoughts on living life and expectations for the future. You can read my profile, of course, but we all know there is more to a person than where they live and how old they are and what their interests are.

The new year typically brings thoughts of renewal and growth for most people, and my thoughts are in that direction as well. This blog is part of "change" for me. It's something I haven't done, but I sense it will bring some structure to a year destined to be rife with transition.

I won't go into all the transitions now, but I will say that I am looking forward to creating a new and better me (which is also one of the points of my mission - "continuous improvement").

A new hobby I've discovered this past year is geocaching. Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Treasures, or "caches" are set up throughout the world. Those coordinates are provided, and individuals (such as me!) can find them.

My intent is not to talk about geocaching here, however, but rather to talk to the analogy of how I view the opportunities in 2007. Just as "caches" are available everywhere, I believe I have a world of treasures to discover myself this year. Some will be difficult, some will be easy. Sometimes the terrain will be treacherous. I will need guidance to capture these treasures, whether internal or from other resources.

Whatever the path I take in 2007, I view it with the same excitement and adventure that can be experienced through gecaching. I've got a world of treasures to discover in 2007 and I'm just getting started!
