This has been a year of extreme change. Changed my marital status, my location, my views on things; my life really.

Some things have been difficult, but I continue to grow.

I won’t make some list of resolutions I’ll only break by February. What I will do is try harder, whatever that means. Try harder in any way I feel I need a little more effort.

Those could include, but are not limited to: communicating, being healthy, seeing the positive side of things, openness, kindness without giving too much of myself away.

I will look forward to this next year, and all that comes with it. One thing I have right now for this next year is hope, and a smidge of optimism. That alone is a great thing to take into the next 12 months.
