A very belated Happy New Year 2024 to all!
I'm still catching up. Last year was a very busy one for me, with a lot of traveling to relatives at different times and places. They were for the important life passages of a significant birthday and a wedding as well as two surgeries. The relatives all live hundreds of miles away and I drove all of it since I dislike flying and didn’t want to rent cars or depend on others at the destinations. It was worth it, but I’m hoping I’m home more this year. I’m grateful to friends who oversaw my home while I was gone.
I’ve started a few resolutions this year, one of which is to
cut out TV almost totally. I still have a connection, and there might be a few
things I’ll want to see, but daily hours are out. After only a few weeks,
instead of missing being entertained (which was getting more questionable by
the year), I very much like my extra free time. I think I’m already a little
more productive because of it, and hope to stay that way.
In fact, another resolution was to get some of my notebooks
in more order and that is pretty much done, for the time being anyway. I’m so
glad to feel more organized. We had a big snowstorm in the middle of January,
so that helped to keep me home and working on these books, along with a lot of
shoveling. I thank the electric company for keeping at least our part of the
state in electricity.
I don’t have much more to add right now. I
wanted to get a post in for January, and am just squeaking by. Last month I brought
my husband’s blog to an end. Even though he passed away several years ago, I felt people were still referring to it for a while, but I felt the time had come. But I hope to keep mine going for a while. It may
be rather sparse for now, but it is still a nice outlet for my writing, and perhaps I’ll
pick up speed again some day.
