I’ve started blogging- I don’t have too many readers but that doesn’t bother me too much… I think the possibility of readers, of words made public is just as exciting and nerve-wracking, my words released beyond my grasp or ability to snatch them back.
Now the challenge is improving. Thinking ahead finding just a little more time… And then linking up and giving others access…

Take train more so I can read

Spend 15 minutes a day on Portuguese.

New years day… My night – it’s an interesting tradition waking up with a hangover. I saw the foolishness which is totally how I wound up ringing in new year with a Dexter marathon, researching my prospective colon cleanse and playing at word scrabbles.
Remember the way you felt then. Like life and all it’s missteps and mishaps, practical jokes and kneeskapped guffaws had put a story inside you and if nothing else was accomplished in your years beyond letting that story out you would be a success.
Remember this and let the story out.
