25 Things I Learned in 2015
 |
| Obi Wan rings in the New Year. (He's a good sport.) |
I listened to a podcast by Tim Ferriss the other day entitled "25 Things I Learned in 2015."
I thought that was such a cool idea--and a great way to look at the good in the past year--so I decided to follow suit and make my own list.
PS: Happy New Year to you and yours!
