Happy 2018! Who is ready to make this an AMAZING year? I need an amazing year after my 2017. It doesn't have to be amazing, but at least bearable. I've already kicked 2018 off to a good start I'd say (goal-wise, sadly, not health-wise, urgh!). I'm going to try something new this year and keep my goals secret, to just me, myself, and I (for now). You guys know I'm not into actual resolutions and dead set GOALS, but there are some directions I'd like to go in and 2 major "goals" that I actually started a week ago, before 2018 even started. I have a good (strangely optimistic) feeling about 2018, so I'm going to keep rolling with it and see how things go.
Obviously, I decided to keep the Friday Finisher around on Strength and Sunshine, at least for now. You guys made it clear you did enjoy it and would miss these posts. I would miss them too and where else would I be able to share all the interesting posts I read throughout the week? So for now...Friday Finisher lives on!
