Planning life

Today is the first day I’ve ever wanted a 5 year diary. I remember looking a them in WHSmith as a teen and wondering why on earth anyone would need to plan so far in advance.
It seems the older you get the further ahead you really do start to think; especially doing what I’m doing, where each new job probably represents a year long commitment. (Three months of which have already passed so quickly.)

I want to experience all I can experience; achieve all I can achieve; and go as many places as I can go. I also want to make sure I’m around my friends and family for important occasions (see post on what happens when you live abroad). It’s a difficult balance to maintain and will require some considered planning.
Life is moving so quickly and I don’t want it to go by with old relationships left by the wayside.
Plus I want an excuse to buy some pretty stationary! ^_^
