Because I Said So

Well, I’ve been a terrible blogger this year, and instead of waiting until January 1 to make a new year’s resolution, I’m going to start now by declaring that I am going to write daily until the end of the year. Mind you, they may be 2 sentence posts instead of essays, but a goal is a goal, right?!!?!?
So this is me starting today. It really is easier to think about writing daily during the holiday season because I have lots of memories of the holidays – and, even most of them are good!
Yes, it isn’t Thanksgiving yet – we seem to move more and more away from waiting the “appropriate” amount of time after the turkey has been digested to move into the Christmas season. Often growing up, the Thanksgiving holiday was spent decorating for Christmas, since that was the only time we would all be at the house at the same time.
When our boys were younger, we usually made it part of the day-after-Thanksgiving ritual to march up into the snowy mountains to cut the proverbial fresh Colorado spruce tree for our holidays. There is nothing quite like a fresh-cut, smells-like-pine tree to brighten up the house.
But that is another subject for another day!
For today, it’s the Monday before the annual day of Thanks and I’m thankful that there are mostly blue skies outside, my office is warm and I get to ponder things daily for the rest of the year!
We’ll chat again soon!
