All I know is ONE

Today this space turns one. Of its first 365 days, I only paid attention to it 64 times. That’s neglect, pure and simple. But hey, I’ve updated the header and am hoping it’s indicative of more changes to come.

It has been an interesting year – and a hard year. I live at work and live for work and it has led to me recently being unrecognizable to myself. My hobbies and interests have fallen to the side of the road… and what’s left feels like a hollow shell of my former self. But knowing is half the battle, right? And I know now. I know that things have got to change. And I have a goal of more than 64 posts in year number 2. (I’m such an over-achiever, no?)

For now, I’ll wrap up this downer of a birthday party with some favorite pictures from the past year that never made it on here for reasons most likely dealing with the aforementioned neglect.
