Love this…you must be a “kindred” list maker. You accomplished more than I did though. I can’t believe 2014 is almost gone. I’ve never had a year move by so quickly.
It took me a long time to accept it was 2014 and now it’s changing. Crazy stuff, huh?! For me, one of the best ways to keep it fresh is to blog about it.
Hope 2015 comes at a slower pace for both of us!
