Okay, this is not really a muse. He’s a monster, and I’ve named him Blog. I’m enlisting his help to remind me to post once a week. My plan is that while I sit at my desk procrastinating from my writing, I’ll notice him perched at the right of monitor. He’s hard to ignore. And when I see him, I’ll think “Blog”. And what better way to procrastinate than to blog? I think this will work. We’ll see!
Okay, it’s been about six months since my previous post. I guess I should resolve to blog more frequently! Maybe even frequently enough that I remember my wordpress login and password.
New Year’s Day is one of my favorite days of the year. A day of fresh starts. It’s a day where I feel I have a wide open calendar ahead–twelve months to accomplish and achieve. Why I don’t feel this opportunity on any other day of the year is a mystery–I guess I just like the authority the first day of the year brings to the exercise.
What do I resolve to do this year?
Ah, that’s top secret. Aside from seeing Under A Canyon Moon approach publication in late 2010 or early 2011! And to blog more often. At least once a week. And to complete Cassie’s List. And to attend yoga classes on a regular basis.
Maybe I’ll blog about my other top-secret resolutions as I achieve them! (Maybe the need to have something to blog about will drive me to achieve them?).
So, how did I spend this day of resolution-making? My husband and I joined friends for a River Paddle & Potluck down the Spokane River. The temps were in the balmy 30′s. The rain wasn’t too intense. During the lunchtime stop along the river, Brian and I snacked on the Hickory Farms gift sausage and cheese we received for Christmas. That put some warmth in our bellies! The potluck after the trip was, as usual, an amazing buffet of delicious food.
It was great seeing canoeing and kayaking friends we hadn’t seen in quite a while. The best way to start the new year!
What a fun way to begin the new year!
