the question is, what's your frame of reference? if it's the earth you're good. if it's the sun, you could presumably move forward any integer number of years because earth would be in the same place in its orbit relative to the sun (but try to move forward by a year and a day and you may have a bit of a chilling discovery about orbital mechanics). however, the position of our solar system (which, you'll remember, includes the earth, the sun, me and presumably also you) is not static relative to the rest of the universe so if that's your frame of reference then you'll have to move in space and time instantaneously in order to move in time but seem stable in space to an observer whose frame of reference is the earth.
The other particles and patterns of information that I'm most entangled with, temporally and atemporally.
That is my frame of reference.
