Obligatory New Year's Eve Post...sort of

 

Lucky me, the holiday fell on my usual posting day. Come to think of it so did last week. What did I write about last week? Oh right, the latkes. You will be happy to know the house no longer smells from those.

So it is New Year's Eve day and everyone is scrambling around trying to think up resolutions, be celebratory and reflective, make plans and predictions.

Um, hello! Quite frankly the world is kind of on fire. Anyone else notice this? So, do we fake it? Or do we dial it all back and distill it down to what is REALLY important to us? What will we let in and break us down? Better yet, how will we fight back and still remain optimistic?

Me? I will subscribe to this practice:

Take life in small bites and chew thoroughly. 

It is much harder to choke if you go this route.

And you? How do you plan to move forward?

Excellent advice. I wonder: will materialism decrease, or will people just find other ways to accumulate more and more? I hope the current economy will help us focus on what's most important.

One day at a time. Skip ahead to think about some future plans. Skip back to worry about the future. Tell yourself that it will be okay- but I wish that that day would come soon!!!
