A few random thoughts, since this is New Year's Day...

I don't make resolutions.  I'm too old to do so and there's nothing I need "resolved".  It's a good time to go from reflection to pinpointing and correcting real/tangible items that may be an unnecessary hindrance in my life - and reaching obtainable goals.

Case and point:  I fasted today, as a means of starting the weight loss process again.  I begin my new job on Monday.  Within two paychecks, I think my credit card will be paid off.  Once that's done, I can replenish the money I'd taken out of my savings account.  I will be able to take the car in for the minor, but costly, repairs.  I will focus on learning this new job and doing what I can to eat healthy and exercise.  All very real and not difficult to gain - as long as I stay on track with these things.  If I can tick them off my checklist, one by one, these achievements will become my norm - which only makes my life better and (subsequently) easier.

I'm still ambivalent about music and writing.  I'll cross those bridges when I get closer to them.

It's definitely time to start thinking about leaving New York permanently.
