I think I slept through it – again.
Didn’t see the ball drop, or the fireworks, or the midnight hug and kiss. I went to bed too early for all that – not that I’m old, I’m just tired and seem to ache in places I don’t remember having a reason for.
Ah well – I still got a New Year hug and kiss when I got up.
So with 2020 vision, I’m looking into the New Year (see what I did there? *snicker* )
** Move to Improve!! I’m working too many hours with a long commute, so I’m making a list of ways to change up and utilize my time. I’ve picked a harmonica, and I’m going to squawk on it for a little bit each day. I’m looking for a Spanish language lesson thing that I could use while I’m on interstate. I’m still looking into any exercises I could do while driving ( how about a treadmill with a steering wheel in the car? If you aren’t running, the car isn’t moving )
** Plan Long, Live Short!! Figure out where I want to be 5 or 10 or 20 years from now, and do what I need to do to move towards where I want to be. Take small steps, but make progress. While planning long, live short – realize each day is a gift from God, and there’s no guarantee of tomorrow.
While on that subject, I had a Doc try to convince me to take a “medicine” that would require frequent blood work to make sure the “medicine” wasn’t damaging my liver. I asked the Doc if there were actual studies showing the “medicine” prevented the disease he was referring to. Doc admitted “No”, but said it was expected to increase my lifespan by 2-3%. My response? “Doc, I fly airplanes, ride motorcycles, and work with explosives for a living. 2% is down in the weeds.” He hasn’t mentioned it since.
Ok, I’ll put the soapbox away.
**Share!! I need to improve on helping – sometimes listening is what’s needed, other times more substantial methods. I’m past the days where you could hit me for money and I’d automatically give – I may donate, but there will be a background check. Opinions are still available; I’ve got 2 or 3 on any subject you’re interested in.
**Blog More!! Don’t know if it makes a difference, but blogging does require me to sit down and think, which is probably a good idea.
Time to go get stuff done or I’ll miss daylight!
Oh yeah – Happy New Year !!
