You have a long list which you will successfully complete. I'm sure this is just a start for you.
Are you planning a mission trip?
Have a safe trip back home.
Happy New Year.

Ambitious list! I have decided to abandon specific goals for 2018 (and my tracking spreadsheet) and just try to quilt more in 2018. That and regain some ability at piano playing.
