In the thick of the hustle, it can be easy to see January 1 as

just another day, a flip of the calendar, a continuation of the
same ol’. But because we’re human, we need chapters to end and old
doors to close so that new ones can open. For that, New Year’s Day
is worth celebrating and an event worth anticipating. But before
we say farewell to another year of life lived, let’s first reflect
on the moments and milestones that led us to where we are today.

PAUS E & RE F L EC T
describe your past year in two sentences:

These lists are meant to serve as an exercise of reflection, of taking an

honest look back at the past year as well as a hopeful look forward at the
year to come. Use them to gain perspective, to note the things that are worth
celebrating, mourning, learning from, documenting, and remembering. Consider
looking with expectant eyes for little miracles that may have been scattered
along the way. In doing so, you may see that each moment was pivotal in the
making of who you are today. Let time sit still for a moment in this in-
between, as you balance the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one.
