Evie Day 280
Good morning, happy Thursday, and welcome to my last official workday of the year… today is 21 December 2023.
My training partner and I have a few shorter segments today, and we’re hoping to have the talking part of the class done by noon or thereabouts. In reality, I think we’ll have part of the content overflow into the after-lunch break, but you never know.
I’m starting to reflect on this last year, the ups and the downs, and all in all, it was a pretty good year. Yes, I am aware there is still a week and three days in 2023, and heaven knows a lot can happen in a scant ten days, but I don’t know if there is enough to change my overall perspective.
I’ll spend a little more time reflecting on that next week. It’ll give me something to write on vacation.
In reality, my vacation will be a working vacation. There are plenty of things I need to focus on to close out the year – a couple of unchecked boxes in my annual goal list are bugging me a bit. I also need to set some SMART goals for 2024 as well… some to be accomplished during the fiscal year, others, the calendar year. New training modalities I need to conquer, and certifications that I have procrastinated. I have a new planner – there is something I like about writing things down on paper, and I have a pretty good planner to help me stay focused on the goals before me.
Lisa and I are going out to dinner tonight. Dane wants the house to himself for an hour or two to wrap some Christmas presents, so he told me to take my wife out on a dinner date. I have a few to wrap myself.
Time for me to get focused on closing out my training year.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
