Farewell 2013, hello 2014!
Some firsts this year: I had an operation and spent my first night in a hospital. I joined Weight Watchers, and dropped 20 pounds in four months. I wore a wig that was an actual color found on other humans in nature. I turned a zoot suit into a tailcoat. I joined Facebook and reconnected with many old friends.
Not firsts, but accomplishments: I made Poison Ivy and Joker costumes for Halloween. I took on an increased number of manga script adaptations. I took steps towards moving out of an admin position and into a new job role.
Areas that could use improvement in 2014: Keeping the house clean. Listening to what people say, paying attention to what I do, and making sure that when I do things I'm doing the absolute best I can do. Focusing less on what I think people are saying, and more on what they actually are saying. Communicating clearly and effectively. And, above all, doing these things because they're the right things to do and taking the same joy in them that I would in doing something that benefits only me.
Wishing everyone a bright, healthy, productive, and prosperous 2014!
