Each year, at the beginning of the new year, I take stock of what happened last year and think forward about what I hope to accomplish this year. Usually this culminates with some sort of resolution to attack more of something.

This year is about less.

I do too much, I stress too much and I work myself in too many different directions. This makes it hard for me to fully realize success in any one direction. That’s why the next year’s goal: determine what is important and more forward with less, will be a real challenge for me.

Looking back at last year accomplishments

  • Officially move the East Coast as my permanent residence.
  • Really invest in my relationship with my girlfriend (who is really rather special).
  • Road trip across the country to attend my best friend’s wedding in California.
  • Do a less than 48 hour trip to the west coast to be a part of a great company party.
  • Attend the Newport Folk Festival.
  • Start a more regular group of Newport Acroyogis.
  • Start frequenting an amazing coffee shop and proceed to tell everyone about it.
  • Adopt a wonderful Puppy.
  • Do a sail delivery for the first time and get some real experience on the open waters.
  • Pack and leave for a couple months of Van Life.

This year has been chock full of wonderful events and wonderful experiences. There is a bunch more that I’m forgetting, but it has been a full year.

There are many great challenges coming up for me, so I won’t dwell on the past. Expect more exciting news upcoming.
