Winter has officially arrived today. It’s not one of my favorite seasons since I don’t like cold weather. However, it’s been the one where I’ve devoted more time towards personal development like exercising to improve my health and writing to launch new creative endeavors. Speaking of creativity, I feel grateful for all the things I was able to accomplish in this calendar year, including making a consistent effort to increase publishing and promoting my literary works. There were some goals I didn’t achieve in 2021 because unexpected circumstances occurred, which I’ll discuss at another date. Right now, my focus is to continue planning and striving towards becoming the best version of me during the wintertime and the 2022 calendar year.

Today I will spend time reflecting upon my plans to continue living my best life in the new year.
