Finishing strong

            If you’re anything like me you’re probably wondering where 2013 went. It’s not only October, but halfway through October! According to my count, there’s only 77 days left in 2013. I’m planning on using mine well. I talked about this in my blog “One step at a time” (http://onestepatatimelynne.blogspot.com/) and I’d thought I’d share some of my list here. I’d encourage you to write one. If I’m going to make 2014 my best year yet, that takes preparing for it now. I don’t want to waste another day wondering where I’m headed.
