Back at it

I took a week off from writing due to travel and the year-end rush at work. As I mentioned previously, I want to get more consistent in my daily writing, but it’s proven much more difficult than I expected. Anytime I log onto my computer, I have this sudden urge to check my email and get work done. It’s a terrible habit and I hope to nip that in the bud starting in 2020.

Onwards…

I spent last Thursday through Monday visiting my college friend Matt and his wife Annika in Honolulu and the North Shore. A bunch of old college friends also came and it was a mini-college reunion.

We rented a house on the North Shore with private beach access and a large yard. We hadn’t gotten this entire crew together since we all left college in 2012. We’ve all grown up quite a bit, but deep down, we’re all the same people and it felt like nothing had changed between us.

It was great to unwind a bit and just relax on a gorgeous island. I love Hawaii. I love the culture, the food, and the people. The Hawaiians are the best at being relaxed and enjoying the present moment. We could all learn a thing or two from them.

I am looking forward to taking most of the next two weeks off from work to unwind and write in more detail. The next week will be a big week for me to reflect on 2019 and set personal goals for myself in 2020. I look forward to sharing that on this blog.
