Month: December 2014

  • Accentuate The Positive

    I exercised more, and I ate junk food a lot less, thus I became a bit healthier.

    I even lost a few pounds, and a few inches around the waistline.

    I won not one but two raises (with additional responsibilities, mind you) at my job.

    I maintained the most important relationships in my life.

    I kept the drama levels low.

    I completed a public writing project.

    I feel like, even though 2014 wasn’t very good to very many people, I did the best I could this calendar year.

    I have no regrets going into 2015.

  • Ablative Pay Increase

    Ablative Pay Increase: The raise you receive at just about the same time as costs go up in every other part of your life, such that you actually end up taking home less money every month but hey, it could’ve been worse, right?
