I usually use today to take stock of the blog. You know, how many posts got read over the year, where people came from, etc. But this last year the blog had some major irregularities. I had a long stretch where someone, somewhere, was browsing from "Hong Kong" of over 200 hits a day. My grand total number was over 100,000. That is just wrong. So I decided to just start over.
January 1st. New day, new year. And time to begin the game again that I have played for three decades. As the new year begins I stop buying things. Groceries and gas for work are exempt. This year I am not starting the year with a job so no gas. I think I have half a tank and that could last a long time. The object is to bring awareness back into how much I spend and on what. I have found that as time goes along I do lose track of that. And January 1st always seems like a good time to reign it back in.
I don't do resolutions for the holiday. I just try to bring my awareness back to myself and what I am doing. I am also participating in a challenge to get rid of 100 things. I have gotten rid of a lot of things already, but I bet I can get rid of 100 more and it will free up space and time in my room. It's all about breathing.
Here is hoping that the virus gets a bit more under control and I can visit at least one of the cities on my list. I have this list in my head of places I would like to see before I am too old or scared to go. Maybe 2021 is the year that I actually get to make plans.
And so Happy New Year to all my family and friends. May you be well, inspired and grateful.
