hope Smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'

Is there something you regret not doing anything this year?     yes
Do you regret doing something?     yes, that too
Have you done anything that scared you?     a few things!
Did anyone/thing make you so mad it stayed with you for days?     yes
Did you fall in love?     no, I did not
Did you start a new relationship?    a couple of friendships
Who was important to you this year but wasn’t important last year?     that sounds really wrong! But it does kind of apply; I rekindled friendship with someone that I used to work with at the bank. She is also quiet outside/noisy inside, and also likes to go for long walks.
If you could have a do over on one thing you did, would you take it?     absolutely
What was the best moment of the year for you?     feeling "forgiven"—by myself—after I lost my job
Did anything happen that you were sure would change you as a person but it really didn’t?     no. I'm always changing.
What are you most proud of accomplishing?     getting into school and coming up with a plan to make it work
What have you learned about yourself this year that you didn’t know in the years prior?     that I'm really, really all right with having nothing scheduled
Did your opinion of anyone change for the better?     a few people really stepped up in sometimes unexpected ways
Did your opinion of anyone change for worse?     I'm no fan of the most recent former boss...
If you could go on an adventure during the remaining days of the year, where would you go and what would you do? Who would you adventure with?     I would go alone, and it would be more of a peaceful retreat than an adventure.
What do you wish for others for the coming year?     good sleep, some unexpected joys, and health
What do you wish for yourself?     good grades, a windfall of cash, and a platinum pixie cut at this time next year
