2021 becomes 2022

I haven't done a year end reflection in years. The last couple year ends haven't been too exciting. Well, last year we bought a house so I guess that was worth writing about even though I didn't. 

2021 was, well, different. Started the year still on virtual school. Ending the year in real school but with masks. So I guess things are better. I've stayed healthy, as has Dad. Dave and Loni both got Covid in October. It was scary for Dave who had breathing issues but he's come out the other end and will be okay. Thank God. 

GOALS:

I had seven goals and met one of them. Well, I will by midnight tomorrow. I read the Bible! I have half of Revelations left and have no doubt I'll get done. As the last post discussed, I had planned the multi-night camping trip with Slugger but we didn't end up camping. 

I have finally taken "buy and use a paddle board" off of my list. Not that I don't want to paddle board but it just hasn't happened and I'm not sure it will. I keep saying i'm going to do Captain John's summer special thing so I can see how often I'll really go. 

I intended to hike Sugarloaf and had it on the schedule a couple times but it just never happened. It WILL happen in 2022!!!

For 2022, I've added memorizing Bible verses, going to TX, getting a generator and fencing my property. I have, of course, kept the losing weight goal. I really just want to be healthy and fit. And for my clothes to fit.

REFLECTIONS:

It doesn't seem like there's much to reflect on. I love living in Baldwin Lake, except right now with the muddy road. I am much happier in my job now that I have a better classroom and am a little more connected to the rest of the faculty. Slugger is awesome. Oh wait, we knew that. I love living in BB where it's almost always fabulous weather and beautiful. And I'm close to the Whites and the Floyds and can see them, in theory, whenever we want. 

LOOKING FORWARD:

22 is my lucky number. It's almost 2022. Regardless of the world's issues, I think this year will be good for me. Maybe not excellent, but that's okay. Maybe this is the year I actually accomplish all my goals!! And then some :)
