January, especially January 1, is the traditional time to set goals for the upcoming year. January 20th not so much. But, thankfully, goals can be set at any time. Whatever the day or time there is always nothing like the present. So here I am. There I was until a plethora of phone calls to be dealt with and my nap of course. It’s a new day so I’ll try again. My goal for this year is to write one, yes, 1, page a day. That is measly in the writing realm but if I can pull it off it will mean a book written. That is something I haven’t been able to accomplish the past couple of years. My medical saga continues with added complications. There may be a hospital stay in my near future but I’m hoping to do at home IV antibiotics. My challenges aren’t kids, work, or a busy schedule. They are low grade temps and the lethargy that brings and pain. Both corrode my determination. Every time I think I am ready to start writing a new crisis appears. So it’s time to write through the crisis. Even if the writing isn’t that good. As Rox used to day, “If you don’t have words on paper you can’t edit.” I’m going to imagine her cracking the whip--BICHOK So, if I meet the challenge of figuring out the new blog you’ll be seeing this well after my 6th date. Did our mother’s often say, “Better late than never?” By the way, has a list of topics been developed for 2016? Happy New Year! Nina and Kathy I enjoyed both of your posts--just haven't figured out how to make a comment yet. Will work on that.

That's the spirit, Joan! Goals can be set at anytime. If you write a page a day, you'll have 365 pages and that's a book!
