It’s the last Friday of December, 2025, and that means it’s our last time to runfess for the year! How did we get here so fast?

For this month’s trip to the runfessional, let’s join up with Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
Let’s Start By Runfessing…
That is has been a bit of a dumpster fire of a year. Honestly, I don’t recommend it. Sure, there were some great things that happened, but also so much trauma and anxiety. I’m usually an incredibly positive person, but I’ve felt a little short on hope this year. Creating good vibes is also pretty draining, when you’re not getting any help from outside factors. Fingers crossed that 2026 is a bit better.

Next, I’ll Runfess…
That I didn’t hit my reading goal this year. Boo. I committed to read 50 books, but I am only at 36 (maybe 37 by the time December 31 rolls around). It’s ok: I read much more than last year, and I am loving it. I really should try to figure out getting a library card, so I can be a little more frugal in my book habits, but we will see how that works out.

I Would Runfess…
That I want to pick a way better word of the year. In January, “persist” was my word, but “persist” bears the connotation of struggle, or something to overcome, and I want something more positively framed this year. I still have a few more days to decide (and letter a sign, accordingly).

My Next Runfession Is…
Even though I started early, I did a very minimal job of decorating for the holidays. For some reason, everything felt very heavy and I just wanted things to be lighter. Something has to be wrong with me lol. Before I put everything away next year, I need to go through the things I didn’t put out to see what I REALLY need and what I can pass along to others.

Finally, I Would Runfess…
That I got some amazing news! My ear is (most likely) ok! The biopsy showed that it wasn’t a squamous cell carcinoma but a very unexpected wart! I guess I’m turning into a witch faster than I thought. The biopsy punch didn’t remove the whole thing, so I’m going back to have it all excised in February. It’s an in-office procedure and they will text it again, just to make sure, but I’m calling it a very lucky day!
