New Year, Day 3

It's still Christmas, liturgically speaking, so I hesitate to post, but having a new year to start blogging more faithfully makes the blank screen so much more appealing.

New Year's Day, really, is so arbitrary. It's kind of like your birthday - do you really feel older on your birthday? No. Because you're actually just one day older than you were the day before. Still, it's nice to have some of these arbitrary markers to prod us to rethink life & etc.

I read a good article in the NYTimes suggesting a kind of life-map review of the year for goal-setting and planning purposes. I've never been much of a write-down-your-goals kind of person. Probably because (as Heather can attest) I'm thinking of them constantly. Well, maybe not constantly.

Anywho, I did the little exercise, and it made me realize how thankful I am for many different creative outlets - this blog, for example. And this year, the activity that stood out the most was getting into improv comedy with Heather. I've really enjoyed mastering a new art. Not that it's mastered. Just that I'm working on it. Plus, the people are fun.

So, I hope your year was wonderful, and that you have things to be grateful for and to look forward to.

Blessings,

Amy
