So, the Winter Solstice is supposed to be the celebration of the returning light and yet come New Year's Day I feel blah. I feel as if the light will NEVER return. There is nothing to look forward, but cold. I sit huddled in front of my computer trying to absorb some warmth from the bandwidth. A year ago, I dealt with my restlessness by potty training the child and starting a blog. I know, I've already told the whole of the interwebs that I do not make resolutions, but I may need to take on a project while I hibernate.
A project is NOT a resolution. There is nothing resolute about a project. Projects can go on forever and wither and revive and never fail. It's the failure part of resolutions that make them so unappealing to me. It's also why I never set goals. Goals are kryptonite to my rebel soul, but a project makes me stronger.
Give me a project. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you. I won't promise to do it (promises are a bit resolute), but I will take all suggestions under consideration and thank you kindly for them.
Go on. How often does someone ask you to tell them what to do?
Make someone laugh every day, and laugh yourself. It's kind of a goal, but your project could be finding ways to do it. I say happiness is so fleeting, that anything that gets you there, even for a little while is worth it.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great '09.
Happy New Year!
Oh how I wish I could tell you what to do, but I'm still searching myself. I need a hobby. Something to keep my hands busy as I wait for the extra minutes...
