I have been listening to a lot of music from my past lately – anything from classic My Chemical Romance angst to that poppy reggae song Paris Hilton did like ten years ago (Remember that song? I didn’t until I found my old college iPod last week!). While the nostalgia trip is fun, I also see it as a step in my reverting back to old, not-so-productive ways.

Maybe it’s life fatigue. This blog is nearing its one year anniversary and so much has happened in that time – I would say more than in the past three years combined! Because of that, it makes sense that I’m slowing down a bit and entering a mini-hibernation this winter.

At the end of the month, I will be reviewing everything that’s happened with me in 2017, as well as a list of goals for 2018. Now that I am in a stable work situation until next fall, I intend to spend a lot less time job hunting and a lot more time skill building. I’m not sure if I’ll read another 120 books next years, but I do intend to continue learning and growing!
