| A very content me last year in St. Thomas. If possible, Birthday Fairy, I want to go there RIGHT NOW!! :-) |
It's been a strange year I'm glad is officially over. If there's been any overriding theme I can't ignore, it's that health has got to take center stage. I'm putting it out there that by my birthday next year, I WILL lose at least fifty pounds. Yesterday, I picked up a seventeen pound turkey and nearly couldn't do it. Not cool, but it is what it is and lord willing, by this time next year I'll be doing laps around Super Wal-Mart with my Honeysuckle White.
Another area of personal housekeeping I vow to work on is organization. I've given ten bags of clothes and misc. household flotsam to Goodwill in the past couple weeks, and would love to give more. One of my fave TV shows is Hoarders, because it always inspires me to tidy. Like if they can clean those huge messes, I can tackle the junk drawer and closets!!
One big goal in regard to my writing is to be more like my amazing friend, Margaret Daley. And I'm not just saying this because she's taking me to birthday lunch!! LOL!! Margaret plans her days down to the minute and gets more done than anyone I know. In the time it takes me to write one book, she'll write three. Her secret? Consistency. She writes EVERY day. I think I'll put a pic of her on the wall beside my desk, always reminding me to write by the Margaret Method.
Other small things I must tackle during this, my forty-fourth year:
- Weed our front gardens.
- Read more.
- Lunch or coffee more with friends.
- Sleep more.
