I think I've been in denial. Denial of the fact that 10 days ago the year changed. Denial about how much work I have to do both at home and on the job. Denial about how neglected I let this blog get. I've never been really great at keeping my blog up to the minute, but when I visited the site and realized that both a Christmas post and a Halloween post appear on the front page in January it kind of struck me as obvious.
So I'm trying to wake up. To have my hands out, my eyes open, my mind allert. A reminder to live in the moment, take time for myself - yet complete my tasks with joy and vigor. And all I can do is try, try my best.
Happy 2011 everyone. I think it is going to be a good year.
The older I get the more I realize I need to live in the moment. There are always more tasks to get done. It never ends. And if they are important, they usually get done. I think human nature makes us always plan what to do next. People always ask, what are you going to do today? this weekend? winter vacation? etc. And I usually say, I have no idea, whatever I feel like doing. I am less stressed and peaceful that way.

I've been in denial too. My inbox is full of emails I've yet to respond to, Christmas thank yous to write. Trees to take down. Cookies to throw away.
Sometimes, I think I leave these things undone so I don't yet have to face all I have to take on in the coming year.
But you're so right...it's best to embrace these tasks with joy and vigor. :)
