My Goals for 2026

Goals is a strong word. It implies that if you don't achieve them you've failed. To me its really identifying the things I want to explore. In the end it may end up a goal but it could also be something that ends up confirming its not a goal I want. So I want to explore:
Personally:
- Getting another Lurcher to take Coopers place as a Guardian of the MoTaVerse...ok thats a definite goal
- Keeping up my fitness regime, maybe improving it a little
- performing more music on my own or with others beyond my current bands
- keeping my family supported in everything they do

Professionally:
- See my team grow further, support each other, drive their own improvements and more importantly, balance their work and life in search of peace and happiness.
- Find something else to add to my skills that excites
- Come up with more cartoon AI images and memes beyond "Grumpy Gary". It was created when I was writing a draft blog post and then I abandoned it as it felt a bit too self absorbed 😂

Testing Community:
- Writing more articles
- Taking part in more podcasts , thinking of with colleagues and ex-colleagues to tell their stories
- Doing a talk that I'm convinced will be of value to others
- Hooking up with individuals from MoT to create...something
