some new year's reflections

things I'm trying out, in no particular order

things I’m trying out, in no particular order, to say goodbye to 2023 & usher in 2024:

• writing a “ winter happiness list”, a la Amelia from ANEMONE (see section below).

• printing out Nic Antoinette’s end-of-year reflection prompts, and setting aside the time to work on them in a few consecutive therapy sessions, knowing I would not set the time aside to do them on my own and I would feel bad about that.

• roughing out my budget for 2024 & noticing where there is room to invest funds in my local community.

• small businesses in the town where I live come and go a lot. I’m writing a list of the ones I particularly want to see thrive and making plans to support them with dollars and word of mouth. In particular, I want you all to know about Apt 1 (16 Miles St - across from 10forward!), which is a wonderful queer-owned clothing store. Jess has excellent taste and is SO kind. If you’re local, let’s go on a date there. If you’re not, you can shop via her instagram! win-win.

• looking up contribution limits for ROTH IRA…
