Personal needs and obligations should come first, of course, but getting out and about can be more than just an escape valve for your heart and mind this year. Step up and do your part, especially in the first month. By autumn you may have more energy, perhaps for socializing at home. Remember your budget, and don't exhaust yourself. Be inspired by others in February even if you don't instantly act on it. Show up in public in a big way in April, and then kick back and enjoy May and June in style. Love gets sweet, and maybe serious, at year's end!
