At the end of the year it is inevitable that I get introspective. This year was a bit of a rollercoaster. My father's health was a very large issue and then I had my own emotional tumult. They crowned 2018. However, there were also other milestones that I consider now as forms of wisdom. The year raced by. I have so much to complete and to begin. There is much to look forward to. I am grateful for everything I have experienced. I move to the new year full of expectations and awareness that the unknown will be met with my best efforts.
