For me, 2014 was, overall, a very good year. A job change, a move south, my first published book, new experiences, new friends, and all around good times. My excitement for the new year is simply a carryover from the previous one.
As with most years, there were disappointments and tragedies, but ninety-nine percent of the year was great, despite some of my grumbling to the contrary. When I look back on 2014, I do so with fondness, and when I look down the barrel of the 2015 shotgun, I get excited. Why? I can't really say, only I suspect things are going to be wonderful this year.
Personally, I'm working on several projects, in written form and otherwise, that I'm certain will come to fruition this calendar year. It's been a long time coming for me to look beyond the immediate, past tomorrow or the day after, and really look forward to what the future holds. Can you tell I'm upbeat? Yes sir/ma'am, I really am.
I've never been into making New Year's resolutions and such; to me, each day is a gift and should be utilized accordingly (although I don't always practice what I preach). But for the first time in a long, long time, all my joints are relatively healthy and mostly pain free. My head is clear--okay, most of the time it's clear--and the vision I have for what is to come is plain as the nose on my face.
Yeah, yeah, I realize I'm being ambiguous and vague, non-committal, really. But I just wanted you to know, faithful reader, that great things are on the horizon. In my heart I know that many great things are in store for you too...I can just feel it.
So, keep your chin up, keep plugging away, look to the future, and remember.....always live your adventure!
