Good morning! The new year is almost upon us, and many people use this time to look back on everything that happened over the past year.
Since Covid, though, I feel like no one wants to look back. Just like last year, everyone wants to leave the pandemic behind and move forward. Unfortunately, I don't get the sense that Covid is going away any time soon. Viruses mutate, like the flu virus does every single year. Covid is proving to be the same. I hate to say this, but as a nurse I believe I think we're just going to have to live with it.
I typically don't do New Year resolutions, they are too easy to ignore after the first couple of weeks. I prefer to do writing goals, and maybe some life goals.
Writing goals are relatively easy. I've recently signed a six book contract with Love Inspired Suspense and I'm planning a six book series featuring retired Navy SEALs and their K9 companions. If you saw my writing schedule you'd probably running screaming in the opposite direction. It's a bit overwhelming if I do say so myself.
Life goals are tricky. These are the more nebulous things that are often spouted as resolutions. I will be more healthy in the new year. To do that I'll run three times a week on my treadmill. Hmm. Is that a goal or a resolution? Or both?
I would also like to spend more time with my family. That's also a bit nebulous. Goals should be more specific, like we will get together once a month for dinner. I'd also like to stay connected with my friends.
Sometimes this kind of thing stresses me out. So I've decided this is my life goal for 2022. To be the best person I can be. Sounds easy enough, doesn't it?
Tell me what you are looking forward to for next year!
