I’m embarrassed to say/type this, but it’s been nearly four months since I last posted. What surprises me the most is that I have a lot to share, and never seemed to find a quiet moment to sit down, collect my thoughts, and hash our a good post to sum up the end of the year. The end of my year was quite busy, so that was a contributing factor. But I digress.
I had an epic holiday week, filled with visitors and travel and terrible road conditions and freezing temps and a special visitor and beautiful sunsets and… Well, there are so many details it seems trivial to catalog them here. But it was a good year all over: lots of goals were achieved, which, of course, led to more goal setting come the end of the year. I achieved a goal to be more discerning with my musical tastes and explore as much as I could and I feel very accomplished in that regard.
But as I write this, I’m listening to samples from the Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers, so suddenly I don’t feel so expansive musically. In my defense, I had never been a huge fan of RS before, so there’s that.
So here’s part of my pledge that happens to be a left over goal from 2010 – there will be more writing. I’m hoping that writing related to work will help keep the wheels rolling into writing related to my life/travels/cycling/assorted opinions about the world.
Writing. Might be doing a bit of writing for the newspaper. I think I write that in this blog every other year or so, but it actually might come true this year. We shall see.
