next+year...

[|self reflection] – focusing on only the questions that matter the most. intentionally short list
 * What am I thankful for this year? family, friends, good health, learn, curate, collaborate, create, share, swim outdoors year-round, beach / waterfront
 * How far have I come – and where am I going? doing stuff that is important and interesting
 * What matters most to me? - open education, engineering
 * Who is important to me – and who am I important to? beyond family and friends
 * What unique experiences set this year apart from all that preceded it?
 * Where did I excel – and where do I need to improve?

And finally, the question that helps me look forward to the future:
 * What do I want the answers to these questions to be next year – and how will I get there?
