How can you explain 2022 being your best year ever?
I think the formula is pretty simple. Staying healthy and staying psyched! I had consecutive finger injuries in the winters of 2020 and 2021. Finally staying healthy long enough to gain some momentum, and having a long list of things I really wanted to finish just lined up perfectly for 2022.
