Bring on 2025!

A new year is upon us. The Earth has completed one revolution of the sun and raises lot of questions for us all. Yes, the new year gives us a clean slate and a chance to push in new directions. Where will your 2025 take you?

I don’t have resolutions per se, but I do have goals that I’ve set for myself. They’re simple ones.

—Spend some time each day in thought, laughter, and tears.

—Eat healthier. Exercise daily. Go for a daily walk. Get in my damn 10,000 steps! (Can you tell I’m a little sensitive on that one.)

—Find improved balance at work and home.

—Like a firefighter who walks toward danger, walk toward the things that challenge me. All the while, keeping a growth mindset, a willingness to try new things, and an affirming outlook.

—Say thank you.

—Journal each day no matter what the day brings.

—Be true to who I am.

—Write. Write. And write.
