The first week of January didn't start us off with a very good year, what with our precious dog Jake passing away and all. Now that we've started the healing process and our grief is subsiding, I suppose it's time for me to get in gear and take down all the Christmas decorations. While I'm at it, maybe I can psych myself up to tackling a couple more of those pesky New Year's resolutions I had originally intended on keeping. Diet (again!), exercise more intensely (ugh), learn how to sew (good grief), and put some of my birthday/Christmas gifts to use in my first attempt at baking fresh, homeade bread (yum, but that works against the diet and exercise, doesn't it?).I guess I'll bundle up and start outside, taking down the wreaths and garlands and greenery. Then I'll come back in and thaw out with a nice cup of hot cider and start taking down the tree and stockings, put away all the snowmen and pack it all up nicely until we need it again next year.
Deep, cleansing breaths to clear my head and re-start the beginning of 2010. Here I go. . .
