Ladies and gents, friend and foe, this is a quick note to let you all know that I won't be here for a while. I'm not mad at anyone, not ill, just taking an indefinite break.

Good thing about winter
Posted Jan 3, 2012
I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with good things about winter. Sheesh, it's a hard task. At least I can be grateful that it doesn't last any longer than it does.
I came up with seed catalogs. They show up in winter and give me a certain amount of pleasure, planning my spring and summer gardens. Then there are socks warm from the dryer and watching the flames in the fireplace. Oh, and 
football season ends. That's a plus.

Focusing on the journey
Posted Dec 27, 2011
I've already had people ask me what my New Year's Resolutions will be this year. I gave my standard answer of several years, that they are a waste of time since I never manage to keep them. Then I had a think and decided I did want to make a couple of resolutionss this year after all. So here goes
Resolution #1 is to focus on the journey, not the destination. Sometimes destinations (goals) seem very far away and difficult to attain. So from now on I want to just make it through today doing whatever it is that I need to do to reach whatever goal I have in mind. I want to learn to measure success by what I achieve today, no matter how far away that ultimate goal is.
Resolution #2 will help me achieve #1. Whatever ~it~ is, I need to ask myself if it's really worth it. Is it worth the time and effort, the financial cost, the calories, the sore muscles, whatever? If the answer is yes, then do it. If the answer is no, give it a pass.
