Here we go, another year, more work, back to your same old routine, or are you? I was talking with Grandma Dixie yesterday who said how much she liked the new year and Mondays as it’s always a fresh start. With that being said, what plans do you all have for the New Year? Are any of you making any changes or is it just another day. As people we are conditioned to react to certain dates and no one is bigger for changes than January 1st. I always have to laugh as the most crowded day of the year at the gym is January 1st. From then on it slowly becomes less and less packed as people give up on their resolution to work out. I think the trick here is, unless you have an incredibly strong will, is to make small changes in your life that you can actually stick to. So if anyone has any changes they’re making here in 2013, let us know!
This morning everyone is still sleeping and I woke up, fed the dogs, made coffee and hit the computer. So far, all’s the same for me. I have a bunch of work to do today (the same again) and then will try to find something the boys want to do if they’re feeling better. The oldest slept most of the afternoon but seemed to be coming around after dinner and was getting back to his young self. The youngest, showing solidarity, seemed to have every single pain the oldest guy did. Hopefully both will be all better today. I did make it to the gym and am really sore today so I think I’ll take the day off.
Lots of changes coming to our Country this year from our self serving politicians all in the name of doing so for our own good but I’ll save that for another day. Just do yourself a favor and think for yourself, enough said on this one. Hopefully there won’t be some huge natural disaster as our politicos cause enough harm for us.
Grandma’s Wisconsin Badgers lost yesterday to Stanford in the Rose Bowl and we feel so bad for her. She had on her Wisconsin prep jacket I had bought her years ago when I dropped some navy bean and ham soup for her lunch. Hopefully the Green Bay Packers will do better this weekend.
In closing, 2012 sure went fast. It seems the older you get, the faster the time goes. I laugh when the kids say they wish they were older. So if nothing else, plan one thing to do this year you hadn’t planned on doing. Take a trip, take up a new hobby, learn a new language, something, anything, spice it up as when todays gone, it’s gone and you can’t get it back, same with the year, you know what I mean.
God Bless.
