I love taking the time to reflect on the year and look back at how far I&#8217;ve come (here&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When  I was a girl, our family vacations consisted of going camping every  summer, which included such adventures as biking, canoeing, swimming,  going for drives to look for moose, exploring waterfalls, white-water rafting, and, of course, hiking. Ahh,  hiking&#8230;there was nothing quite as lovely as reaching the top of a tall [...]]]></description>

AND, technically, I wrote it in my journal on New Year&#8217;s Day&#8230;.so, technically, it&#8217;s definitely not late. Technically, I think my New Year&#8217;s resolution should be to not procrastinate ever. Or to not be busy. Ever.
