I\u2019ve been watching YouTube vlogs and Instagram posts of people recapping their year. With less than an hour and a half left before 2023 steps on the scene, I thought I too will reflect on this past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not gonna lie, 2022 was a trying year for me. But it seems like almost every year has been for me in the last, I don\u2019t know, two and a half decades. I set a lot of goals that I didn\u2019t accomplish, a couple that I did. But there were a lot of lessons learned, some relearned, even more still learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the plus side, I met some interesting people this year. Attended parties with good food. Got a job after being out of work for the longest. Got on a plane for the first time in five years. Got to spend some time with my sister\u2019s dog before he died. I\u2019m not a pet person, I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll ever want one of my own, but that dog was a good friend (though sometimes two-faced) when he was around and I loved him. There are other blessings that remind me of the goodness of God that I\u2019m in no mood to list here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll just say, on this rainy night in Southern California, it looks like I\u2019m going to make it into 2023, I\u2019m grateful for the opportunity and hope that I don\u2019t waste it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One way or another, I think I won\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And since I find it tre annoying when people say happy New Year when it\u2019s still the end of the current year, for now I\u2019ll just say see you next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s to new beginnings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
