I couldn't figure out how to re-blog myself....

I posted this last year and neglected to do it, so I figured I’d give myself the opportunity to ignore it again. Maybe next year, third time’s a charm, right?

DO THIS TODAY! And you’ll be glad ;)

YEAR IN REVIEW

When you consciously review your year, you may notice how little you noticed it as it whizzed past. To review is to re-view. To rewind, pause, look again. And in looking again, to see more clearly.

You may be astonished by how much happened. And how much didn’t. By how much has changed. And how much hasn’t. You may laugh or sigh to notice that your life remains its usual jumble of contradictions.

I knew I forgot something...

All day I was thinking I’d forgotten to pack something or do something before I made the trek home. I just remembered when checking my tumblr that it was the previously mentioned Christmas Tree. I hope it can make it four days.
