Setting the Stage

As the new year begins,  I've decided it's time to revive this long neglected blog. After a hiatus of 8 months, I'm feeling like it's time to engage with the world via this medium once again.

Are you someone who makes resolutions? I'm not, but I do believe in beginning the year as you intend to continue. Hence, this blog post. Here's what else I've done in preparation for New Year's Day:
  • My desk is tidy. I have plenty of work to do, but no work that is overdue.
  • My bookkeeping is current. My bills are paid. I have cash in my wallet and money in the bank.
  • My house is clean. (At least, as clean as it gets. After all, I'm still me, and housekeeping is an area where my standards are remarkably low). All the laundry is done, and there are fresh linens on the beds.
  • My kitchen is stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein and whole grains (plus a slice of cheesecake for a year end splurge).

Here's hoping 2014 is a year of peace and prosperity for us all. May your days be filled with grace, kindness and creativity.
