As with my last two yearly reflections, I’m going to start with five positive things that happened to me in 2022, and five things I’m excited for in 2023.
Passing my second year exam
Getting an accordion!
Restarting this blog!
Writing two books
Learning that I can run 5 miles when I need to.
Looking at the five things I was excited for in 2022, there’s a lot of overlap. As always, though, more wonderful things happened than I could have ever expected.
As I look to the coming year, I’m excited to/for:
Passing my third year exam
Self-publishing a book
Taking an improv class
Watching my littlest brother graduate
Growing in my relationships
My goals last month were:
Blog every day.
Stretch every day.
Write another 50000 word book.
Catch up on BiaY.
I accomplished the final one of those only. That’s kind of sad, but I suppose natural.
Looking into 2023, I’ve already planned out most of it.
This month in particular, I would like to:
Blog daily. I have faith in myself.
Listen to the BiaY and CCCiaY on average once a day each
Stretch daily
Write a poem a day
Write a piece of music a day
Write through Chapter 35 of the book I’m self publishing
Practice music daily
Say a rosary a day
I think my theme is going to be Schedule. I find that my life works better the less I leave what I do to chance, and so I want to regiment out my day more. I’ve tried using auto-generated lists these past few days for the things I want to do daily, and that’s been really helpful.
Happy 2023!
