I have no idea how we are even beginning 2011, much less seeing it end. The last year has been one big blur of days flying by with work, trips out of town, and football and basketball games. I hope that saying that time flies when you’re having fun is the actual reason the last year has whizzed past — I’d hate to think the time is just going by faster, because I’m getting older. If that’s the case, at this rate, I’ll be 80 before I know it.
I feel very remiss that I haven’t kept my promise to myself…I had planned to post something every week of 2011 and I missed the boat. In fact, posts during the last six months have been almost non-existent. I have to admit, I felt like committing to once a week sounded like a good idea, but then it started feeling like work instead of enjoyment. And that is when I started putting off the posts. Or starting to write, but never completing them. I have several drafts and just can’t seem to finish them.
So, here I am, wondering how the last six months went by so fast and how I managed to write so little. But, does it matter? It’s over. All I can do is move forward. And I feel like writing again. I’m back. I’m not committing to any specific number of posts per week or month. I’ll write because I feel like writing. It makes me happy– again. I guess that means my New Year’s Resolution is to write when I feel like it.
I hope each of you have found something that makes you happy, something you enjoy. And resolve to do what makes you happy. Happy New Year…welcome, 2012! I hope you’re a little less frantic than 2011 was. And a lot slower!
