Someone boasted the other day, "I think I'll
start my New Year's resolutions in February
rather than in January." I found the statement
amusing, as I imagine it was intended to be.
However, it started me thinking . . . and here
we are at January 10 and I don't think I've
had much follow through on my ideas and
plans thus far. I looked up some thoughts by
a popular author on the internet. She seemed
to think the February start was a good idea
because one would be properly rested from
all the holidays. I'll take it a bit further, from
about Thanksgiving through the New Year is
a block of time . . . planning, executing plans,
seeing family and friends, amazing eats and
drinks, parties galore . . . of course it's a set up
for a January failure . . . at least, that's what I'm
telling myself. Still, I do believe I'll give some
thinks to the whole idea for the rest of January
and begin anew in February. Wonder if I'll end
up doing a month by month restart?!@#$%^&*()_+
