President Donald Trump of the United States of America doesn't have to run for re-election until 2020. So it's probably a little soon to be sizing up potential contenders, people who might decide that they have the right blend of character, chutzpah, and charisma to challenge the sitting POTUS. I mean, supposedly these pretenders to the throne would also have sound political ideas.

It's kind of a funny time to be talking about wrapping things up, finishing them off, writing "The End," moving on, bidding adieu, lighting a match and walking away, and so forth. We just barely kicked off 2018, after all. The "New Year" smell — sort of like the much-loved "new car" smell — hasn't even worn off, yet. Come on, now. Is anybody really in an "all good things must end" frame of mind?

It’s 2018 and, if no one else already has, let me be the first to wish you a Happy New Year! The coming 12 months are filled with possibilities and it’s a great time to set some goals. Some of my goals include finishing my IT degree, getting regular exercise, and turning the TV off and going to bed earlier.

It's a brand new year. A blank slate. A fresh canvas. A new leaf. What do the next 12 months have in store? That's what makes this time of year so exciting and invigorating. There's a great big TBD out there, and it's up to each of us what gets determined over the coming weeks and months. What is the looming "to be determined" element in your life? There's really only one person who can make that decision — and then make it stick.

It's been a wonderful 2017 here at the IT Insights Blog, and we're grateful to everyone who has shared it with us. We hope to see you all again in 2018!
