The year in review? No
Thanks!
This week there are
plenty of television stations that are doing 'The Year in Review' specials. I'm
not a fan. While there have been some good things that happened this year for
me, such as the release of Sindriel, there is plenty I'm ready to leave behind.
Why do we need to relive
the year?
There are ups and downs,
conquests and tragedies, and life goes on as it does. I'm entirely ready to
move forward without the burden of looking back over the months of 2016. I
appreciate that I'll never have another 2016 but even if it had been a great
year, I'd still feel like focusing on 2017.
Does anyone else dislike
this 'year in review' stuff?
I just don't see the purpose in looking back over the year. I'm probably alone in this feeling but I can't see the reason to relive everything that's occurred.
After the joys of a wonderful Christmas it's
time to focus on what will be a new year, new opportunities, and new life
challenges. There's writing to be done, and life to be lived.
I hope to finish and
publish another book in 2017. Beyond that I'll see what life has to offer and
move forward from there. Does the threat of pain not yet experienced loom ahead? Sure, but that's life. If I fall to that unhappiness, I'll miss the little joys along the way.
It's time to prepare for
2017. I don't know what it'll bring, but I want to keep my heart open to all it
has to offer. With those thoughts in
mind; may the New Year be kind, our lives be prosperous and writing be
prolific.
Cheers,
Mary Corrales
