New Year, No Worries

Like many this week, I’m in the midst of family fun and madness. A few more days and we cross into a new year. As such, this time of year always makes me a bit more pensive than usual. What do I want 2018 to be like? And just how much choice will I have in the matter?

I realize most things don’t turn out how you plan them but I do find it necessary to set some sort of goals for accomplishments from year to year. Perhaps it’s our human need to keep up with the pack or to keep improving over time. I don’t believe each one of us feels this way but I do believe that as a species we strive to learn and grow–otherwise, I highly doubt we would have reached this far in our evolution.

But I digress… back to 2018. The truth is that this year is probably the first year where I haven’t a clue as what to strive for. It isn’t that I don’t want to improve. It’s more like I feel content. Sure there are things I still want to learn and do but I no longer feel incomplete without them. Maybe it is an age thing or maybe it is where I am at this time in life, but it doesn’t bother me either way and that’s a bit of a nice feeling for once.

Happy writing this week and may you all have a Happy New Year!
