And Another Year Opens

Happy New Year!  It's so nice to see people looking forward with hope, promise, and optimism.  I don't know what all 2020 holds for me, but I know some of what I plan to do. 

• I'm going to work for what's important to me and to build up others.
• Some of this will be a continuation of things I've been doing.  Some of it will be new to me.  I'm continuing to learn, so I suppose some of these will be things that I don't have any real ideas about right now.  It's going to be an adventure.
• Sometimes working for what's important means fighting for what's important.  The quote, "Get in trouble:  good trouble, necessary trouble," from Rep. John Lewis comes to mind.
• We're going to visit Texas.  
• There's a bit to unpack on this one, and still some things to process.  That being said, it's an exciting adventure. 
• I'm going to take better care of myself.
• I didn't make that as much of a priority last year, and it showed.  
• I'm going to reach out more.
• I don't know just what this looks like, but it is important.  I may try some different things and see what is a good fit for me and my relationships.  I accept that I could be awkward with it, some of it might work and some might not, and that I can only choose for me, not for others.          

What are your plans?  Is there anything visible on the horizon for you that you find exciting?  

One last little thought on my mind.

Every day I Promise 

I Will Change Tomorrow 

New Year's Came 

And Everybody Took the Same Vow 

We'll Get it Better Starting Now
