Another year: Over and Out

Wow. It's December 31st, 2014. The very last day of another year.

This time of year always has people in retrospect. We're looking at the past 365 days and trying to figure out how they measure up in the grand scheme of life. Are we happier today than we were a year ago? Did we do anything absolutely show stopping to brag about? Are we making more money, taking better vacations, working more exciting jobs? Did we get married, have kids, buy a house, lose weight, make a milestone somewhere? We all seem to try and rate how well we did by some sort of magical, invisible scale of success.

But really, does it matter? Sometimes just living life, getting through it and having a little fun along the way is enough. Maybe it's okay just to be happy with simply making another trip around the sun.

I didn't do any of those milestones listed above, but I do have to say, I'm okay with that. As I reached my 32nd birthday, I came to the conclusion that although life isn't necessarily where I thought it would be by now, I am exactly where I need to be.

Highs/Lows/Mediocres and all....2014: That's a wrap.
