puppetmakerHappy New Year Y’all!
Hope the day isn’t too bright and loud for you.
We had a very pleasant time at some friends’ house ringing in the New Year. Caroline was so proud of herself that this was the first year that she managed to stay awake long enough to see the ball drop in Time Square. She was full of glee over it but as soon as head hit pillow, she was pretty much asleep.
Right now she is reading a Scooby Doo book while her cat sleeps at her feet. Sort of a relaxing way to start the New Year.
I found out this morning that the Tournament of Roses Parade will be tomorrow rather than today. Considering how much NFL football there is today, I understand why they moved it.
So how many people have already broken their resolutions? I had one friend who resolved to quit smoking and within 10 minutes of midnight was outside puffing a cig. His comment on this was, ”At least I got it over quickly.” Personally I hope he decides to give it another go.
Most of my goals for this year are organizational. There are some that I want to become a little more of a habit and others that need to be implemented. I have been slacking on my ability to organize.
The other is to read and write more. And by write, I don’t just mean this blog but a couple of projects that I have had in my head for a long time that I just need to put down on paper.
Creatively my big goal is to have everything for DragonCon at DragonCon rather than my usual half of whatever I put on the sheet. I have 9 months or so to do it so I think I can this year. It would be even better if I could get things done way before but I am not holding my breath.
Breathing is another thing on my list of things to do this year. Or rather be more aware of it. I find myself holding my breath a lot and I really just need to breath through.
Today I plan to get a few things started artistically and personally. And some cleaning and laundry as well.
A quiet beginning of the year is not a bad way for me to start the year.
Neil’s wish for his readership was interesting this year. He wished for everyone to make mistakes and see where those mistakes might lead them. I’m going to have a go at that since it is both easy and hard.
Hope 2012 is really good to you and yours.
I am grateful for everything I get done this year.

Date: 2012-01-02 02:35 am (UTC)I'd like to try making mistakes that lead to places other than hurting the people I care about - maybe that will be my variant.
Happy new year, and may it be a healthy and productive one for you and you family!
