2022 is ending, and while it’s been another day of work, it’s been a day of recollection and contemplation.
It should be worrisome that a majority of the year was a blur to my memory, but that is a sign that I’ve grown older. As time goes by, our minds accept the routine of a normal day and doesn’t commit it to memory, so it feels like the time spent had simply gone by. It’s one of those things that always interests me: the older we get, the faster time seems to go.
But I did have a few firsts. I got to see my children grow a little more. I saw them experience Disney. I experienced what it was to have a tabletop campaign be enjoyed by people all over the United States. I’ve made a couple of new friends, and said goodbye to a couple of old friends, either by the inescapable grasp of time or the distance that develops as people grow.
I’ve been humbled by my experience of time moving faster. I’ve tried to enjoy those moments I knew I’d remember. But as the evening comes to a close, and I fully expect myself to be asleep before 10PM, I’ll go ahead and say it here:
Happy New Year, readers. Thank you so much for following me, and I promise to give you more stories in the next year to read and enjoy.
To my players, I’m also thankful. I’m grateful you’re willing to dedicate your time and help me develop these stories. I hope I will make your investments worthwhile.
Stay safe out there, readers, and be sure to raise your cups for auld lang syne. Cheers.
