Well, is there anyone who could actually say that they are fully prepared for the new year? Do you have something new coming on for which you are completely prepared? I know that I am starting graduate school again after the first of the year and I am terrified about how well I may actually be prepared. It’s been ten years, and I have to admit that I’m scared to death.

What about all of you who have a new job starting? Or those of you who are having a baby this coming year? Any other challenges that are entering your lives? I know there is a part of me that feels like there will never be enough time to take care of everything well enough, never a proper schedule that will lead to a well-managed day. I know that I was crazy trying to handle everything last time I was in school and working, and I know it will likely be the same this time.

So, what do all of you have to do this coming year? What are the worries already on the table? Any challenges for which you must prepare early? Well, with any early preparation there are only a couple of days to finish doing so! It’s hard to believe that 2019 has flown by so quickly. Additionally, it is hard to know what to expect in 2020, especially with the crazy political events we see on TV and everywhere else daily. Even more has happened around the world, but we have the option to make change for ourselves!
