Spending the day in a jumble of grandkids puts things into perspective. Nothing like a precocious two year old and a baby's drool to bring back a smile. Emma was set to entertain when I arrived and so we donned Santa hats and spent a giddy afternoon photographing ourselves and eating chocolate chip bread. It has been great to have a day off as opposed to an "off day". I need to spend more time with the kids.
I Guess this starts my New Years resolution list. I am always one holiday ahead of myself. So.....Ahhhhem.... here goes:
1.) Publishing something tops the list, but writing something proceeds that.
2.) Never think of the future. It comes soon enough. I will live each day.
3.) Face procrastination square in the face and conquer it, once and for all. This should be my #1. I could write a whole blog entry on my problematic procrastination, but I will spare you.
4.) Be more accountable to my friends. They are my greatest possessions.
5.) Engulf enthusiasm and live with zeal.
And then there are the usual on the "to do" list, exercise, drink less, get my house in order to sell, clean my garage once and for all, get back into school, spend less money, hike that damn mountain, learn a new word every day, spend more time with the kids.
It's probably best never to tell your resolutions beforehand, or it's twice as onerous a duty. To late. I'll hold myself accountable.
Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right.
