New Year's Resolution?



NO THANKS!!! Why should I put off until Thursday at midnight what I can begin right now? I've never really understood the reason for New Year's Resolutions. If you have something you want to change about your life, yourself, etc., why wait? What is the significance of a new year? Time is purely relative. If this "New Year" is such a turning point for everyone, why not have a Jewish New Year Resolution? The Jewish traditions/holidays move on a Lunar calendar, as opposed to our Solar calendar. Let's make resolutions then too. Or how about Chinese New year? We could have three different rounds of New Year's resolutions. Or, if you mess up the first time wait for the NEW "New Year" and just start over when another one rolls around. Oh, you didn't exercise every day last week, like you were supposed to? Oh, no big deal, just start over on the Chinese New Year! Why not have a New Month resolution? New Week?

My point is, why wait? START NOW! If you have identified what you don't like about the way you are living your life, why not begin to change it this minute? This second! New Year Resoluters are just procrastinators! My New DAY resolution is to not be that way.











P.S. Time means nothing . . .

Vacation almost over

Well, the end of my vacation draws near and not much has been completed yet. But have no fear, you will still receive Christmas presents . . . at some point. The garden isn't yet planted, but the ground is being tilled and prepared. My progress is slowed by the massive amount of bricks I found buried in my yard. My best guess is it was some sort of experimental home made brick kiln. The size of the bricks are about right for that, and in another section I found a buried lump of clay. (Mind you all of this is more than a foot below the ground) So, it goes slow as I dig out bricks. I hope to use them to make a walk way in the large part of the garden, so really it is a blessing in disguise. But now for the good news, finals are over! I think I did well. I would be surprised to not have an A in both my classes. So the largest part of the stress is gone. Not that I really felt stressed about it.

Vacation

I start a nice long week and a half vacation tomorrow. It won't be work free however, because I have so much stuff to do. It is finals week, and I have a lot of work and studying to do before my exams. I have about a million Christmas presents to finish making, a garden to plan and plant, and lots of stuff to make for Etsy. My apartment needs a severe cleaning and reordering. I am trying to make room for a roommate, although I haven't found one yet. I really don't think a week and a half is going to be enough time. I'll have to try to limit myself to one or two hours of television a day. Can you guess what that will be?

Etsy

Well, two necklaces sold and only four left on Etsy. I need to make more. Also, a special project coming soon. I don't know if its ever been done before, or if I should get it patented. I do know that I can't find anything like it anywere else at all. Perhaps I invented it? I dunno, but I gotta get on it. So, did you notice my link above to my Etsy shop? Also, on the right is an updating list of my favorite items on Etsy that other people make. Remember, its free to use Etsy, so take a look at it and check out all the amazing stuff.
