2021

For the first time in awhile, I woke up feeling a bit happier about the state of my country in general. I did not realize how much an inept government was keeping me in this bizarre stupor.

As the day wore on, and as I witnessed work actually happening at the federal level, I found myself hopeful.

In the spirit of maintaining that energy, I wrote this post to highlight what I'm looking forward to this year:

• Working towards my ongoing health journey (latest update)
• Making progress on one or more side projects
• Some changes in my day job that, while exciting, will also challenge me (a good thing)
• A renewed focus and energy on writing, a passion of mine I've forsaken for far too long
• Continued investment into my marriage (celebrating 12 years in October)
• Hopefully bearing witness to stemming the COVID-19 tide

Hoping you can find some things to look forward to as well. Take care, wear a mask, and look out for each other.
