December 2013 Check-in

Wow, it's December. When did that happen?
I feel like this happens at the beginning of every month, every year, every measurable interval of time. Whoa, when did it get to be November, October, Monday, Friday, 2014, 2013, spring, summer, autumn? Time is really flying by now, isn't it? Huh.
But time is always flying by. This is nothing new.
My biggest goal for December is to take it all one. Day. At. A. Time. For a change. Slow it down, go out and enjoy seeing new things, take more photos (the ones in this post are from a recent visit to Jones Point Park), appreciate life, not worry about the future even a little bit.
And then in January start freaking out about things again.

In the interest of actually getting things done for a change, I'm assigning myself days to accomplish certain tasks. We'll see if this actually helps.

-Tomorrow, Dec 6, I will actually sit down and examine all the budgeting spreadsheets my sister sent me and see if I want to implement them or not.
-Tomorrow, I am also going to order business cards, because it's about friggin' time.
-On Dec 12, I will sit down and wrestle with Quickbooks, and beat it into submission.
-On Dec 13, if not before, I will go and get a 30" TV screen for photo editing. Oh man, I'm stoked.
-On Dec 18, I'm going to power through everything I've drafted for my client guides and put them in some semblance or order. I may even start to design a final product!

I'm planning on spending the rest of December enjoying my family and friends, and so should you. Sometimes I feel like life is measured in people... and it's easy to forget that.
Gosh but that sounded cheesy. Sorry. I don't know what's come over me.. must be the spirit of the holidays.

Go hug someone.
