THE YEAR OF LIVING COURAGEOUSLY

In one hour and two minutes, it will be 2011 (Mountain Daylight Savings Time).

And I just don't like that.

Not the new year - the number 2011. I don't like odd numbers (except 13 - I love 13) - and the number eleven is even extra odd.

 

In the Arabian calendar, it's 1433. So that's not good either.

It's the end of the Year of the Tiger - that sounds cool. But it's the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit - nah.

So I think we each name this year. Whatever

 is meaningful to us.

So this is going to be the Year of Living Courageously.

For me.

OLD YEAR RESOLUTIONS

This was inspired by another blog, by a woman who has a list of new things to try, the number determined by her age.

I know I need to get out of my 'comfort-zone' more often, so let's see if this helps at all... or if it will simply become one more thing to feel guilty about.

So, let's see - things I have never done before, actually could do (dating Harrison Ford is probably out of the question, then), and would be mildly challenging ('challenging' translated as 'something that an almost senior-citizen-discount-eligible woman can do and still hold on to what of her dignity is left.') and would not be perceived as a suicide attempt (although some day I am going to jump on Najale's back and take off for New Mexico).

I was planning on completing the list at work today, because normally the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month consist of me sitting and reading for 95% of my scheduled (and paid) hours - it ain't my fault if the clients don't show up.

Today?

Almost everyone scheduled showed up.

So I will post my list sometime this weekend... hopefully.
