It’s not everyday I got to watch a sunset like this – to watch the sun descend into the horizon. I took this picture last Friday at the capitol. It was very chilly. I had to wrap my scarf up to my nose but I must admit, the scene is beautiful and looking at this picture now is making me think about what is coming up.
2017 will be very different from 2016, I can already tell. It will definitely be somewhat of a new horizon. For one thing, I don’t have to study or focus on school or worry about grades. For once, I will have to find a full-time job and focus on earning the next paycheck.
It will be different for this blog too. I am not sure in what way yet but I am eager to find out.
I will no doubt work on my photography and writing. I have several stories started and definitely want to finish for my compilation of short stories.
I definitely want to publish something in 2017, doesn’t matter if it’s self-publish or through a book publisher, though I’m leaning toward self-publish because I’m not sure if I stand out among all the talented writers.
Another aspect I’m sure 2017 is different from 2016 is I’ll get to travel. I’m heading to China in about 20 days and I am excited, frightful, and nerve-wrecking. I haven’t even packed yet and have two large suitcases to fill. During my stay, I hope to visit other countries. My mom approved on Japan and my aunt wants to bring me to Europe to see the northern lights. She says she’ll only go if I go since she doesn’t speak and understand English. Cool.
So many awesome times to look forward to in 2017. However, to get there, I must get through some hurdles – finals but not too bad. Just two and that’s it and then I am done.
This is Another Story

At age 50, I am back in College to get my Masters in Human Resource…so with 2017 my goal is to concentrate on all the studies. The older we get the harder it seems, LOL. May your new Year be bright. xo Jackie

I agree, my mom went back to school at 50 too but she quit after two semester. It was simply too difficult, not only for her but for me too. I wish you have a happy new year and good luck on your studies. 🙂
