This has been a big year of change for me. 2015/2016 each had their own major events (buying a house, marrying the woman I adore)... 2017, for all that it was, was more about a lot of small, but significant, changes for me and the ones I loved. Taking chances, trying new experiences, and learning a lot along the way. Some things I learned, well... the truth can be bitter and ignorance is bliss, but bliss never lasts forever.

I can foresee a lot of what is to come in 2018. It is a year that will have its own challenges, that hopefully I'll be able to use to grow into an even prouder stallion. I look forward to sharing more of the canon tales in my legacy (First Burn, in fact, is starting to brew heavily in my mind...) and look forward to being presented in all sorts of compromising situations. ^.^

To all who took the time to read this journal, I wish you the best of the season - stay warm, eat well, and spend time with those you love (whether virtually or in person.) Happy Yule, Merry Christmas, and here's to a Happy New Year!
