I really want to... 12 months ago

... But then call it sheer laziness or what.. I just cant seem to bring myself to make that effort. Probably I’ll be motivated if I realize how much it would mean to the other person



Called my mother, 14 months ago

had my ears for a half hour. I had to get off the phone… away too much! I’m trying… I can tell she is becoming more like a child. Gee… what am I going to go?

Fantastic day. I had two wonderful friends and their children come up... 17 months ago

for the day. They got here at 1:30 and left at 8:00. Spinach lasagna, bread, and cherries for lunch. It was a lovely perfect day.

Wow! I actually sent a box to somebody. I went to the postoffice and... 17 months ago

sent it. Now, if I’ll just write those cards, after I finish cleaning my bedroom.

Relationships 18 months ago

Relationships with family and friends are central to a happy life in my humble opinion. So much more important than accumulating financial wealth or having a “successful” career.

Wahoo! I've just given 1,000 CHEERS! Giving cheers to other people is great.. 20 months ago

fun. There is something quite satisfying about it. Best to all.



Arktoi is totally revamping her list.

Ongoing... 20 months ago

I know this is an ongoing thing, but I think it’s safe to say I’ve made huge improvements in this arena, so I feel comfortable saying it’s “finished.” I’ve gotten in the habit of returning phone calls right away. There have been a few exceptions, but now it’s almost always a conscious choice and not just laziness. I wrote my grandmother twice while she was in Texas, which I know meant a lot to her. I’ve also managed to keep in touch with the friends I made at my previous job. I was really afraid that I’d fall into my old patterns and lose touch with them right away, but we regularly meet for Game Nights, dinner & a movie, hair dyeing… I think we’re good to go. I may re-add this goal when I move to Florida this year, but we’ll see how it goes first.



I am actively attempting to be better... 20 months ago

... but I could DO better…

Last year was so wildly full of change. There were many months of adjustment for me. I basically moved myself to a new city with nothing but a trunk of clothes, a coffee pot (of course! :P), and some CDs. I had to find a home, meet all new people, learn my way around streets I never knew existed, and learn the ropes of being a single parent. It was a crash course in life, no shadow of a doubt! So, in the midst of this, it must’ve felt like I fell off the planet to my family & friends. Now that the dust has settled and is all cleaned off, actually, I am trying to get better at staying in touch with those I love…... a MISS! Boy do I miss my constants! I’ve just decided not to backtrack and cover the ground already treaded, but to pick up from here-the present-where everything now begins. :)
