Welcome 2020

Hello, gentle readers! And Happy New Year!

Can you believe it’s 2020 (I hope I remember to write that on my checks—yes, I still write checks!)?

What’s on deck for me this year? You know, I haven’t really thought about it too much. I’m not one to sit down and write out my goals for the year though I do have a few. I want to finish my current work in progress, but that’s a given. I always want to finish my current work in progress and start the next story (because there are so many stories in my head).

I’d still like to lose those 30 pounds that don’t belong. That’s been a goal for a long time and somehow, I never seem to do it. What can I say? I start off the year really good, but then, somewhere along the line, I lose my momentum (or I buy that loaf of French bread) and all bets are off.

Of course, there is the main thing that I wish for—to be kinder in both my actions and words (to myself as well as others…I can be very hard on myself). I can also be blunt though I’ve been trying hard not to be. There are gentler, nicer ways to say something (I’ve been taking classes at the day job and working on that).   

The only thing really different for this coming year is that I’ll be taking some time off from the day job and doing a little visiting with friends and family I haven’t seen for a while so that’s new (and something to look forward to).  

So welcome 2020. I’m hoping it’ll be a good year for everyone!

Until next time, remember to spread kindness wherever you go.
