Nearing the end of the year

[jon_chaisson]

It's less than ten days before the end of 2013 and oddly enough, I'm caught up.

More to the point, I'm not rushing and freaking out trying to get stuff done by year end. Okay, there are a few writing-related things I was hoping to get done before then, but I'm okay with them going over by a few weeks. No, this is more about the fact that I've pretty much done what I set out to do this year:

--finish revision of A Division of Souls and submit
--rearrange and clean up Spare Oom and sell/donate things that have been taking up space
--step up on the health care (getting teeth fixed, going to the gym, cutting down my sugar intake)
--step up on the mental health (dropping a lot of stress, avoiding things I don't need to worry about)
--clarify focus on creative endeavors (upping my guitar chops, drawing, and of course writing better)
--expand travel experiences (more on this in a later post)
--more focusing on future endeavors and less focusing on past failures and near-misses

All in all, I'm pretty happy with how 2013 panned out. I'm seriously looking forward to next year, as I have quite a few neat things in store! :)

I was realizing this morning that we have 10 days left in the year and wondering what I was going to do with them. I was also wondering how in heck I'm going to make goals for next year within 10 days. I just...I don't know where I am or where I'm going any more.

You have accomplished so much. I am so very, very happy for you! I hope 2014 is the best year EVER for you!

And, thanks very much for the Christmas card! I loved it!

Hey, I'm amazed I got this far myself! :p

Wishing you the best of luck--I know you had one hell of a year but you've come through each time, which is impressive itself. Here's to hoping your 2014 is equally as awesome. :D

Yay for crossing things off the list! :)
