In about an hour, our newsroom will pack into the building's conference room to celebrate the best of the best.
Our ceremony will pay tribute to those in the newsroom who do good work and deserve to be honored. We nominate our coworkers for honors ranging from best reporter to best manager. It's one way we get to tell each the folks we work with how much we appreciate the work we all do.
And I LOVE it.
But this event has got me thinking about all the things that I could have done better over the past year--inside the newsroom and out. In the paper and on this blog. In my professional life and in my personal life.
But all that pressure I've put on myself has really got me thinking.
You know what I realized?
I realized that there are a LOT of things I can do better. And I'm going to try to do better, starting now.
While we celebrate our Best of Times honorees, I'm going to take time to celebrate myself and work on improving all the facets of my life. I don't need to wait until New Year's!
I promise to smile more, eat healthier, live better, work harder and let people know how much I appreciate them.
Your turn. Tell me what tweaks are you going to make to become the best you can be.

Ashley, I was thinking along the same lines right after the event was over. Like taking some time to myself to reflect and figure out what I can do differently, or better, in the upcoming year. Not so much for any recognition, but just to be a better person. I haven't figured it out yet, but thanks for the blog to remind me to still do that! :0)
