I was doing well early in the year, but it's like I lost sight of things as the year progressed. One good thing about starting a new year is seeing all the motivational articles and posts that others put out. It helps inspire me to put 2016 behind me and strive to do better in 2017.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165210377903518274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-90465926201148880302017-01-05T06:03:14.242-08:002017-01-05T06:03:14.242-08:00Happy New Year, Arlee.

This year I'm planning to get a nice strong chokehold on time so it doesn't slip through my fingers (probably won't work, but I'm gonna try).<br /><br />I've always been a big fan of Simply Red, probably because I grew up listening to them. I would have voted for that version in a heartbeat, but I guess Frantic Elevators is a decent second best.
