It was impossible, of course. But when did that ever stop any dreamer from dreaming.

I certainly did not almost forget to write this and therefore fail my post-a-week goal. Not I, no. Anyway, as the name implies and is obvious to everyone reading it, we’ve made it. We’re here. It’s the last week of 2023, somehow, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve got an astronomical amount left to do. Too much, certainly, to finish it all, especially with this week being what it is. But, hey, that’s life. We’ve got to accept our shortcomings as much as our successes, no?
Which, I suppose, is what this post will ultimately be about. I was going to write about all the things I need to do to catch up as much as I can, but I think it’s probably better to accept my losses and make this a week of thoughtful, thorough planning instead. I’m out of town for the start of the week anyway, so it’s not like I’m going to get ahead on what’s currently outstanding. So, yes. Planning week it is, and if some things get handled in the meantime, that’s great.
Having taken some time for mental and physical breaks recently, it’s pretty clear how helpful these but, ultimately, how easy they are for me to fall into slumps during. Which, again, we’ve discussed. Also, I don’t like how this site has become something of a personal grievance / self help fest of late. That’s not the intent, so it’s something else to consider. Lots of ball dropping going on around these parts.
Next week, for the last post of the year (Which just so happens to be on the last DAY of the year), I’ll be covering what sorts of things I’ve decided upon during this week, briefly covering what got done last year, and turning an eye toward the future. A future which must lend itself toward building the life I’m trying to create.
One step at a time.
Until then, enjoy Christmas and the start of the Christmas season, my wonderful Dwellers. Start and/or continue some traditions, give thanks to God for all we have, and pray that we can build this world into a better place for everyone.
