The day after Christmas, I sent out my yearly newsletter. It contained a list of things that I did this year, and now I will share them here. These are the things that I considered to be important, and many of them I remembered after reading my happy journal (which I absolutely recommend you begin in January!). They aren’t really in any order at all. I’ve had a great year… probably the best one since I’ve been an adult.
Tomorrow is the last day of 2012. I really hope you take time to reflect on what you accomplished in the last twelve months, and what you want to do with your life for the next twelve. If you have recap or goal posts, please link me to them. Also.. what are you doing for New Year’s Eve?? Matt and I are going to see Louis CK in Baltimore. We’re pretty excited.
