Resume

This will be my eighth year of private blogging.  I'm still enjoying it because it's so therapeutic and stress-relieving for me and I don't see an end in sight.  Sometimes I don't even realize I'm thinking or feeling something until I start writing and things just come out.  Or, I'll start a post about one topic and totally go off on something else.  Blogging before bed has helped me sleep peacefully many a night.  Anyway, I'm hoping to do more frequent (maybe shorter?) posts this year.  I hope I'll enjoy reading all these years' worth of posts when I'm old and laugh at how ridiculous I was.

Something I've never done is try to put all aspects of my life into writing.  I often feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I try to fit into a day and I've never really taken the time to inventory what it is that keeps me feeling so busy.  I haven't had to create a resume since 2011, but here's a rough draft of what one would look like today.
