I love the start of a brand new year. I’m sure I say that every year around about this time, but it’s SO true. A brand new year is so full of possibilities, like a blank page just waiting to be written on or a field of unblemished snow where not a single soul has […]

A great list of intentions! I am sure you will meet most if not all of them. I agree we need some direction. Like you I love the start of a new year. I listed mine on my recent blog https://darlenefoster.wordpress.com/2015/01/03/lets-get-2015-started/
All the best for 2015! Happy writing.
Yes. The start of a new year brings hope.
Always! Happy New Year, Angela! and thanks for reading. I appreciate it!
Thanks, Darlene. I want to check out your post. I’m having a little trouble right now with my slow connection but will try later. Happy New Year! :)
I’m like you in that I don’t make resolutions but I usually do have some intentions. I haven’t set any down on the page yet, but they’ll come eventually. We used to make a big deal of the New Year, partying with friends, etc., but those efforts have petered out as the years passed. Now we spend New Year’s Eve with family and *sometimes* manage to stay up until midnight. LOL. Reality says January 1st is just the day after December 31st, but there’s something reassuring about the cyclic nature of a year. I always like Mondays, and just like the start of a new work week, the start of a new year also offers another fresh start. :)
I don’t usually make resolutions, but I like the idea of intentions.
I guess New Years has never been a big deal in the party sense for me, but more of a big deal in a private way, if that makes sense. I agree with you, fresh starts are wonderful!
I have to say I love the cover of Shari’s book. It’s SO beautiful. I know she must be thrilled and I’m sure you’re thrilled for her. :)
Absolutely, that’s why I stopped with all the resolutions stuff. Intentions work far better for me. :)
I like your idea of intentions, Laura. Nothing brand new is on the 2015 plate at the moment, but I do want to finish several projects that I started last year. The one goal that I have is to finally find a good system for using the time that I have in a way that’s most productive. I am a Class A procrastinator, so I intend to learn some discipline this year. For the past couple of weeks (except for weekends) I’ve made one step toward this by not going online until after 9 AM. As an early bird, I can get a lot done before 9 o’clock. So far, so good! Now, I just need to delete FreeCell and Spider Solitaire during the same time. :)
You’ve always seemed so much more organized than me, Heather. Online activity is a real time stealer. yet so darn tempting. Last summer I took a month long break from Facebook and was surprised at how easy it was to not log in once I got over that initial “withdrawal” lol!
I wish you luck in attaining your goals this year. Happy New Year!
