I've Been a Slacker

I really have been slacking in the blogging department.  So much so that even conviction has left me when I don't get around to it.  I'm really working on getting back to some sort of regular schedule but since I'm focusing on writing a book about sexual abuse, the time has to come from somewhere. 

Well, let me start off by wishing everyone a Happy 2012 New Year!  I hope you all achieve the things you set out to do.  Mine has been on my list for too many years to admit to.  But I hope to have a book in the works before we ring in 2013. 

Anyway, I'm not much for resolutions nor am I a fan of Dear Abby or Ann Landers but a friend sent this to me and before I could hit delete, I started reading the first "Just For Today" and I was hooked.  I read them all.  While I don't adhere to the words  of The Holy Vedas I agree with the quote and I have always loved the prayer of St. Francis.   I was inspired by all 8 of the things to focus on Just For Today.  At my age, I wish I could simply remember them all, let alone attempt to uphold them.  I'm going to focus on finishing things that I start.  Yeah, yeah.... my book.  And just be nice to people who annoy the hell out of me.  If I refrain from the sixth one (refrain from improving anybody but myself) I'd have to stop blogging!  I mean, after all... the only reason I blog is to share all the crap I learn, be it how to make a new sauce or how to stop a fight from turning evil.  It's what I do.  Besides, no one has to read what I post!  So if you're like me, and don't really want to fail at resolutions, then here is a list where you might want to grab one or two of these things and work on them.  Thankfully, I've worked on a few of these things on this list already which makes me feel OK about myself.  Is that bad? 

Oh, in closing... I'm doing a cleanse for 10 days and then hope to eat cleaner!  Gosh this is not going to be fun!  I don't even know what to expect!  Detoxing is never fun.  I miss sugar already..... and I haven't even given it up yet! 

Dear coffee,
Don't get scared.  I would NEVER dream of parting with you.  Especially NOW!  I will need you now more than ever to get through!
