Hello 2019! As I write this, we are on the cusp of a new year. To me, that\u2019s always a very exciting time. I don\u2019t know what it is about the changing of the calendar. For some reason, it always feels like a fresh beginning for me. Time to reset, reevaluate and set some new goals to accomplish. Some personal, and fun things I want to get done in 2019: \u2022 Make a big dent in my backlog of books. I feel like I read a pretty good amount, but I could do better. I\u2019m reading Altered Carbon now. Can\u2019t wait to watch the series on Netflix. Waiting in the wings: Revelation Space, Cloud Atlas, Seveneves, The Regulators, Feersum Endjinn and Jerusalem. \u2022 I have a treadmill, and I love it. I feel as though I haven\u2019t even ccome close to exploring all the settings and features it offers. So, I want to do that. And I recently acquired a Peleton exercise bike, so I am pretty curious about what all it can do. \u2022 Declutter. I actually like trying to find ways to maximize space, and get rid of stuff I no longer want\/need without just trashing it. Plan on giving away, recycling or listing a bunch of stuff on Ebay this year. \u2022 The amount of good TV shows out now, and coming out in the near future, is insane. I talk to people all the time who rave about how good a certain series is. So, my goal is to watch four series to completion that I\u2019m curious about. Seems doable. \u2022 Save more money. I think I\u2019ll join one of these services that automatically helps you save by rounding up all purchases and stashing away the excess in some account. \u2022 Visit my mother more. Didn\u2019t see her as much as I\u2019d like in 2018. We should ALL make more time for our mothers! Happy New Year!"}
