Last Post of the Year

This is my last post of 2016.

I imagined I would have a lot of time in my hands to kill today. My plan was to take a nice hike with my husband Hamed to walk and talk about our plans, last checking of our "to do's" for 2017 and reviewing of the year together. However, first, it rained. Second, I had this mounting headache for most of the day that didn't want to go away. I was initially very tired and sleepy. I attempted to go to sleep during the early afternoon but failed to do so. I think I took a 10-minute nap but that's it. It was one of those power naps though it totally woke me up.

It is now 6:46p and I have to leave in an hour or less to get to Marina Del Ray on time for our dinner reservations where we are meeting our friends to party until 2017! I almost didn't write this post and only remembered to do it because I was checking my planner and saw that I had forgotten about it. I thought, hey, it's the last post of 2016. I need to write my last post of 2016 on the last day of 2016. It's interesting though. For the past 1-2 weeks, I have been working on my goal-setting plans and the more I plan, the more I get excited about all that I want to do and accomplish. If anything, I can't wait for 2017!

I'm so excited to start the new year. And it's a different kind of excitement. You see, in the past, every time the new year came, I just wanted to be RID of the current year and just jump into the new year where I'll suddenly change and become a whole different person and somehow miraculously reach all my goals. However, that never happened. I think it was because I just wished to be different but I never tried to be different. But this year is different. What I am most grateful about for 2016 is that I believe I have learned the secret to goal-setting! I am not an expert yet perhaps, but I know that I have improved. For one, I am a different person. That's why 2016 was the year of "Change" for me. Now, come 2017, I can't wait to put my goals into actions. In fact, it doesn't seem like tomorrow is going to be that different from today or the day before because I have been working towards these goals for months now. It's like all that I've done in the past 6-7 months have been a sort of "training" to get me ready for the real thing, for 2017. And I couldn't be happier and more proud!

2017, I'm ready for you!
