New Year Resolutions
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Happy NEW Year!
Well, I had a fabulous time in Canada. It was one of the most relaxing Christmas trips I've had in years. Usually, when I go home for Christmas, it's like I hit the ground running and I don't stop until I am literally sick from all the stress of trying to see everyone I can. This year I went to one house and one house only. Because it was raining and snowing nearly the whole time, the most traveling I did was from the bed to the couch to the refrigerator to the dining room to the couch again. Okay, I did get to walk in the woods one day. I also got to walk on the beach, but other than that I read, played board games, drew, ate, talked extensively, and ate some more.
It was so fabulous a time that up until this morning I was still sad about coming back. Actually, truth be told, I wasn't really BACK until this morning. I kind of felt ON HOLD. The pictures haven't come off the camera yet, I am not completely unpacked, etc. etc. I was going to hold off to write a blog entry complete with beautiful, artful pictures displaying the glory that is Vancouver Island and my family, but I decided what my motto is going to be for 2008:
SCREW IT. Screw it and do it anyway. Yep, this year, it's the SCREW IT year.
I marvel every year at the deep and powerful wishes and themes people come up with for the New Year. The blogosphere abounds with such glorious pronouncements and declarations. I'm always inspired by the idea of this, but I also know myself--I know how fickle and temperamental I am (emphasis on the MENTAL). I know I can soar into the air with a declaration like THIS IS THE YEAR THAT WILL MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE, but then it's Monday and I'm out of cat litter, or I just don't want to, or I ran out of red paint, or I'm late or whatever, and such ideas seem to sneak out the backdoor. So I am changing my tune. This is my SCREW IT year:
Screw it--write the friggn' blog entry WITHOUT the pictures.
Don't have the usual 20% for my savings account? SCREW IT--put $1.00 in my savings account.
Afraid I am going to let someone down by doing something late or different? SCREW IT and do the work anyway.
But what if this happens and what if that happens? SCREW IT!
There's a certain ring to it, don't you think?
More later, with pictures and everything.

Good for you!
I never even mention "new year's resolutions". Screw 'em!
oh, this is delicious . . . thank you! And my friends loved their calendars, by the way!
This is the single greatest New Year's resolution ever. I have to steal it, even if it is 2 weeks into the new year. It needs to become part of my DNA right now! Brilliant!
