Standing on My Left Foot - Goals for the New Year

PicturePilar Morin as clown/mime: full lgth., standing on left foot, facing right
Here are some thoughts and musings on this, the first day of a new year, laden with promises and dreams for the next three hundred sixty five days.

Every New Year's Day I find myself feeling this compulsion to create resolutions and goals. It's as if I have been handed this blank slate and told, "Get busy. Write something wonderful and call it your life."  And while January first is an excellent time to do such a thing, I resist with all my heart and soul.  So I begin.  I stand on my left foot so I will start the new year on, you guessed it, the right foot.  Groan.

So here I am, doing the traditional meditation and reflection on what I want the new year to look like.  2019 has a nice ring to it.  But then I think every year has a nice ring to it at the beginning.  Isn't that why we say "Ring in the New Year"?  

But seriously folks.

This year I want to get down to brass tacks.  I want put my nose to the grindstone.  I see myself pounding the keyboard and capturing the illusive photo images that make you say "Wow".  Quit fooling around.  Be earnest.  Just do it.  In 2019, I see myself going to out more, to movies, museums, hiking, arboretums, zoos and more.  It would be nice to have companionship, but I can't let that keep me from doing things.  I actually enjoy my own company.

Okay, here goes.  It's all a balancing act.  Not unlike standing on your left foot.  Every great year starts where you are at.  Here I am.  Ready to move forward...one step at a time.
