New Year’s Day 2015. It’s a new year, and time for a new
start. To that end, I decided to start blogging. Again. (I know you were
thinking it….) So I checked, and found that it’s been since April that I’ve
posted anything! Wow…. Okay, so another new start.
If you’ve read any of my other posts, you’ll notice quite a
bit of ranting. This year I’m planning to keep the anger to a minimum. That
doesn’t mean no more ranting, it just means I’ll try to be more civil about it.
I’ve learned I can’t change a mind that’s made up no matter how hard I try, so
I won’t. All I will do is present evidence to the contrary (yes, I’m contrary!)
and share it with whomever will read it. I also plan to share things that are
less rants and more friendly.
I’ve been taking stock of my life lately and realized there
are several things I still need to change. I want to be a different, a better
person than I have been and not get mired in all the negativity I keep finding
myself surrounded by. And the latter half of 2014 gave plenty of negativity,
that’s for sure! Regardless, I have resolved to be a better person, less angry
and hostile, and focus on what I actually want to do with my life. Dreaming and
positive thoughts can only get you so far. Action is required as well.
I have the black-eyed peas cooked and waiting for lunch.
Cornbread will be made when it’s time to eat. I’ve been sipping on my coffee
(Starbucks Willow blend) and trying to decide where to start my changes. Then I
decided it doesn’t matter where I start so much as when I start. So here it is, Day 1 of a new beginning. I
look forward to the journey over the next 365 days and wonder where I will be
at that time….
Meanwhile, if you have a question or if there’s something
you’d like my opinion of, feel free to ask!
Happy New Year! And here’s to a new beginning for all of us!
