Happy New Year!

Today I wanted to write about GOALS, but I'm not in the mood. See why goals are so important!

Nor am I totally prepared, except to say that for me, goals and guidelines are what keep me going. Without them, I'm toast.

I've been thinking about my 2013 goals for a good six weeks, and finally got around to finalizing them last week. I learned that I'm going to need to make changes to my daily routine in order to accomplish everything. Otherwise, unless more hours are added to our days, it won't be possible.

Since I'm actually writing this post before Christmas, I haven't figured out the best ways to gain the most extra writing hours. When I do, you'll know. And I'm letting you know ... thanks to some great engineering by Live-In Handyman, I have a tentative routine ready for testing. Yay!

I hope 2013 is a wonderful year for us all, and I wish all of you a very

Happy New Year!

Don't party too hard.

Stay safe.

I'll see you back here on Wednesday with guest blogger Sara Walter Ellwood. And Cera du Bois. One author, two names.
