'16 Going on '17...

As the year draws to a close, per usual, I find myself reflecting upon the past year and the year to come.  Normally, I greet the changing of the calendar with excitement, maybe some trepidation.  Strangely, though, it just seems like any other day.  No great anxiety.  No extreme worry.  Just...."Yup, it's the end of the year."

That's not to say 2016 wasn't eventful or interesting.  In addition to the political three-ring circus we all endured, there was, of course, an inordinately large amount of well-loved celebrities who passed.  On the personal front, I started school and purchased a new vehicle.  There was even an ill-fated romantic endeavor.  And yet, I start the New Year as I have the last several years:  Still single.  Still broke.  My apartment is still a mess.  I am, as always it seems, living a Life in Transition.

But maybe this is where I am "supposed to be" right now?  While I don't believe in Destiny, I do believe that everything happens for a reason--even if those reasons are only recognizable in retrospect.   And I have learned some super, boss-keen things about myself this year.  Not all who wander are lost, right?

Right?!

No matter.  (Re)building a life is not easy, and that, my friends, is what I have been doing for a long time.  I realize that now.  

And so, gentle readers, as we head into 2017, I make resolutions that are in line with doing just that.  2016 brought with it certain realizations of thought.  May 2017 bring realizations of action.  

Happy New Year!

Until next time, Lovelies....

P.S.  I also believe that by putting positive thought into the Universe, we reap positivity.  Plus, by expressing our wants, needs and desires, we become accountable.  So, if you're interested, here are my Resolutions for 2017:

Write more
Worry less
Finish school (preferably before June)
Get a job in chosen field
Create Great Theater  (Act, Produce, Direct)
Spend more time with friends, loved ones and the cat
Clean the apartment 
Surround myself with positivity and love

Oh yeah, and somehow obtain Johnny Depp and a million dollars.
