I visited my dad in Wyoming over this past New Year’s. He took me to see Mt. Rushmore and Devil’s Tower. I enjoyed spending the time with my brother too. My take away memory of Wyoming; however, is a deep understanding of the term “big sky country.” The plains are incredibly flat, it’s possible to see for miles. At times, I almost felt a sense of paranoia while riding around in my dad’s car. I was definitely happy to return to New England to see trees and hills. :)

Postcrossing is a wonderful project, I’ve started an album of all of the postcards that I have received and I fully intend to continue participating.

I have kept this at the front of my mind for a couple of months now. After a heart to heart with my husband, I have been putting forth effort to “build people up” and compliment them for things that would normally go unnoticed. I’m now employed as a school psychologist, where my entire career is helping out the less fortunate. While I am certain that I will occasionally have selfish moments (we all do), and I am aware that this is one goal that is technically never complete, in comparison to where I was at the beginning of the year, I feel that I have made sufficient progress to cross this goal off the list.
