That looks to me like a pretty good pile of writing to accomplish while going through all the shit you've been going through.

And though I enjoy a lot of aspects of the holidays, I am also really all about the lights! Here in Seattle people put them up early and leave them late, to help us all through the dark months.

This year, I noticed more up earlier than usual. It had me wondering if people were wanting more cheer after the chaos of the world this year.

I'm not good at typing on my phone either.

You accomplished a lot this year!

You did an amazing job this year, especially given how much bad stuff you faced.

I, too, would love to skip the winter months. Though I'll take March. I wouldn't want to miss my birthday. :)

Okay, we can do March for your birthday. ;)

Thanks. It left me feeling a lot better about the year.

Sometimes it's good to make a "done" list rather than a "to-do" list so you remember to give yourself credit for all you actually accomplished, even if it's different than what you set out to do.

This was the first year, I kept track of what I got done that way. Going forth, I'm going to have both. I need the to-do list to keep me on track and the done list to remind myself that it's working.

I don't type reviews on my phone either, but I hop onto Goodreads to write a short review sometimes. It looks like you accomplished a lot of writing last year.

I try at the very least to give a star rating if I don't feel like attempting a review.

I agree with you on the lights for Christmas. I usually love some of the hubbub, but this year... it's all the lights, and a lot less bubbling along for me. Maybe I'll feel it a few days ahead, who knows.

Congratulations on all that you've done this year!

Thanks. It was a pleasant surprise and a good way to end the year.

That's a great list. Sometimes we need to write it out so we can see what we've accomplished! Sorry, it's been so rough. Enjoy the lights--my favorite thing too.

It'd something I plan to keep on doing as it was quite motivating.
