Looking Back, Moving Forward

I’ll admit, I love making new year’s resolutions. (I love it even more when I stick to them!). Making resolutions is an opportunity for me to stop and contemplate what I want in my life, and to identify things I need to do to get what I want. As I mentioned to a friend yesterday, new year’s shouldn’t be the ONLY time we do such reflexive work, but it does provide a convenient moment to do so.

Years ago, I looked at my life and realized that so much time had passed that I could no longer account for-—names, events, places forgotten. I started this blog, in part, to help me remember those things. (This is why I haven’t updated to a newer template-—I like how this old one marks the time.) I soon realized that it also gave me a great outlet to keep in touch with myself, and potentially get in touch with others. (Hello readers!)

December was a busy month, so I’ve got some catch-up posts to do, then it’s on with what this new year brings.

Cheers!
