Christmas is winding down, and I'm looking towards the new year with glee. There has been some major changes in my life here recently, some very personal, some aimed towards self-improvement, but all for the better I hope. Tomorrow marks the start of my third week of cutting cigarettes from my life. I haven't completely quit yet, but I have went from 2 packs a day to 2 packs a week, with only a single pack this last week. I expect to be completely cigarette free by the new year, and I don't plan on becoming dependent on them ever again. I have also started to do a very minor workout routine in the morning with some sit ups, jumping jacks, and pull ups just to keep in shape while I'm not doing manual labor.
As for steem, yeah it's down, and at first that thrilled me because I wanted to buy more, but now that doesn't seem to be a possibility, so I'll just hang in there and ride this out. The ups and downs of crypto are to be expected, so if you're not hodling for the future, then this may not be the place for you.
As for my other projects, anticipate some big things coming. 
All in all, I expect 2019 to be the biggest year yet in terms of growth for these projects, and hopefully even for some I haven't announced yet that should help add more value to our Steem community. Stay tuned for more, I promise I won't keep you in the dark for long.
I want to thank you all, because it's you who make this whole experience a lot of fun, which is ultimately keeps me around doing what I do.
