I just read back over my first post from 2017 and I think that my goal for the year was a bit of a draw. I wanted to pay down debt in 2017 which I did in some areas but not others. I did continue to pay down one of two credit cards and a separate loan. I also put through the paperwork regarding my expected student loan forgiveness under the public service forgiveness program. It is due to this program that I do not pay more than the minimum amount due, which is not very small, on my student loans. In six more years I should qualify for loan forgiveness. Where I was not successful in paying down debt was with my second credit card. In fact the balance on this card went up in 2017. There are a variety of reasons why and the most unavoidable one, pet health care, I do not begrudge. I will continue to work on paying down my debt this year, but debt will not be my focus.
Instead I am borrowing an idea I have seen in blogland and choosing a word for the year. My word for 2018 is Listen. I would like to listen more attentively to my body, my friends and family, the people I interact with daily and really just the world in general. I know that one of the things that prevents me from listening as attentively as I should, especially to the GH, is my phone. So hopefully I can learn to put aside the digital devices for part of every day and truly listen.
And now, since this blog is primarily about clothes, here are the rest of December's outfits.
