In the past 12 months…
- I got divorced after 18 years of marriage.
- My youngest graduated high school.
- I changed churches after almost 12 years.
- I started volunteering.
- I tried to make new friends for the first time in ages.
- I read more books than I had in the previous 10 years combined—and it changed my brain chemistry for the better.
- I bought two new (to me) cars.
- I started sleeping in a bed again after 11.5 years of being on the couch.
- I changed jobs after 9.5 years at my previous one.
- I started counseling.
- Both my kids got their driver’s licenses and starting driving on their own.
- I signed up to run in a race for the first time since 2012.
…among many other things. It’s been…an eventful year. And there’s still a month and a bit left.
