Hail, New Year!
I love the energy surrounding the New Year, all of that seething, unformed potential. It thrills me.
Since I only hit one of my goals from 2013, I decided to try adding a few more for 2014. Some of them are probably unattainable, but at least I'll try.
1) Make all handmade gifts.
2) Create a work log with situations and resolutions. Complete 3 per week. (Goal: increased productivity and tracking/accountability.)
3) Read at least 12 books.
4) Give $1,000 to nonprofits/causes.
5) Save $10,000.
6) Write 250 words a day and have a finished novel by year's end.
7) Run a sub 30 minute 5k.
As a brief general summary:
I'm handling long distance well. Better than I thought I would, honestly. I keep myself busy with Girl Scouts (co-leader), The Vagina Monologues (cast member), Condomonium (logistics committee member), EMBARK (Spring 2014 cohort), and mentoring. Not to mention (making an attempt at) having a social life, staying creative, reading, writing, catching up on great TV (Downton Abbey!), and running.
It's been a ridiculous year. Mostly amazing. I wish I had the energy to detail it more, but maybe later?
