So here we are again, dear friends.
I tried this once before and, as with many things in my life, I started out all gung-ho and excited and then slowly but surely got caught up in the niggling little mundane, day-to-day moments that take up your time but don't act to enrich it very much and the project fell to the wayside like so many half crocheted afghans. This time will be different!! (The mantra of so many slackers...)
So why? Why again? Why now? I'm glad you asked.
I didn't make much of a New Year's Resolution this year. I wasn't much of myself this New Year but that is a tale for a different day. I did finally make one New Year's Resolution and that was - "To be more loving and kind to my family". A good resolution, if I do say so myself. I've been working on it.
As the Lunar New Year came upon us (January 26th, 2009), I began to think anew about the things that I wanted for my family and myself this year. This is a stellar year! So much has happened already; A new President in the White House, a new job for me, a promotion for Dan, a trip to Thailand in the near future. This year has the potential to be momentous and I want to preserve and share all of it.
In addition to all that, I'm home from work with a stomach bug and it gives me a time to reflect.
I'm not a very strong person. Let me amend that. I have problems with will power. I have grand plans! Super, fantastic pie-in-the-sky plans! I have a problem when it comes to implementation and follow through. (As evidenced by my first blog...) So, soon to follow will be a list of the things that I plan to accomplish in this Year of the Ox, Time for Change, Year of Hope 2009.
Maybe a bit of Internet accountability will be the kick in the pants that I need...
