Press on!

For the last several years, it has been my practice that in December I enter into a time of reflection on the closing year, and goal setting for the next. They say that something like only 8% of New Years Resolutions are kept, and I’ve certainly made regular contributions to the 92% failure rate.  Yet in spite of all those ‘failed’ resolutions, I have made great progress towards the fulfilling … Continue reading Press on!
