I'm in the middle of writing the usual "Year in Review" post, and just seems so routine, drawn-out and, frankly, kind of boring.
I guess the short version would be that in 2023, I got help with some metal health issues, worked, stayed on my own for most of a month, and travelled. That's it.
Sorry, just getting a little fed-up with doing the same old, same old, writing-wise. Time for a change, maybe. Something to include for 2024 goals as well, maybe?
Anyway, Happy New Year and Cheers!
Last night was the annual hooking-up of the VCR to watch Mickey's Christmas Carol and ALF's Christmas Special, and this morning I finished gift-wrapping and successfully taped a present independently for the first time ever. All that's left to do is write this post, I guess.
So, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone out there, have a safe and relaxing break, and enjoy.
Cheers!

I used to find the idea of vision boards to be kind of corny, and I especially thought physically making one would be an exercise in exhaustion and futility.
That changed a couple years ago when, during some of the darker days of the pandemic, I did up a "Before I'm Forty" plan for myself, with some moderately achievable goals in a handful of specific areas of my life to try and accomplish before I reached that milestone birthdate. I even designed a board of sorts, using a slideshow application and Internet photos.
Having already fulfilled a few of those goals since 2022 (new job, Drumheller trip), I thought I would turn "Before I'm Forty" into a yearly exercise, using the same general areas like Work, Travel, Social life, and Health, to set new, more specific, and somewhat shorter-term goals for myself.
I've been working on my "plan" for 2024, and it seems to be coming along nicely.
Cheers!
The other night, I was watching CNN's latest travel show with chef José Andrés touring Spain with his daughters, and my brain went into Bucket List mode.
I've already written about wanting to visit many of North America's major museums, with the Smithsonian in DC likely being my next big trip, but I also had a really neat idea for a long-term goal: a "four corners" tour of attractions in Canada and the US.
