I'm not much one for special occasion resolutions. I believe in working to be better every day. So in 2014, I'll continue all of the things I did in 2013: try to increase my patience and generosity, get enough exercise, and get more sleep. Other things will come up as the year moves on, and I'll tackle them in order of appearance.

I was pretty happy to see 2012 go. In 2013 I moved, gained more publications, moved again, reconnected with some old friends, and ended up in a spot I would not have predicted. This has been a tough year, too, but also rewarding and challenging and exciting. Let's see what 2014 has waiting. I'm cautiously optimistic.
