Hello,
Today is my friend Judy's birthday. I have no idea how old she is but I THINK it's 44. Although she likes to get presents, she hasn't been as happy about birthdays since she turned 40. WAIT til she turns 50. Poor girl has no idea what is ahead of her. :)
So, tomorrow is Ed's last day at Heywood. We are taking him out to eat tomorrow night. He's looking forward to his new business adventure, but there have been complications and setbacks already...things you just can't plan for. Like the current owner losing his father on Christmas day and having to shut the store down for at least a week. Not being here to handle the paperwork and so forth. Poor Ed! Well, when he gets on his feet, I'll have to head out there for a grinder.
Tomorrow is also my son's last day at his job. He's been in the corporate treasury office as "Sr. Treasury Analyst"at John Hancock in Boston for 5 years. Getting out of the corporate world altogether and becoming a personal trainer, a holistic fitness trainer and a sports yoga coach. He'll be great at it. He spent time with me on Christmas day and was patient and knowledgeable. (Good Luck, Den!)
As for me, my changes will begin on Saturday, as the clock turns to midnight and 2005 arrives. I don't make "resolutions" per se, but I do like to set in writing some things I like to manifest over the course of the year. To that end, I will re-read my journal(s) from this year and write for awhile, setting some "intentions" and dreams that I'd like to make a reality in 2005. I plan to start a new journal, but haven't decided which one I will use. I have several but I also fell in love with one at Barnes and Noble in October that I can't get out of my head. It's still there...because it's like $30 or $35! But I received 2 B&N gift cards recently (one was a thank you and the other was a Christmas gift), so I have enough money to buy it. Howevah...I was planning to use those gift cards to get the rest of the books I need for book club next year. I dunno.... I'll see what happens when I walk in the door. But as the death toll continues to climb in Asia, it seems ridiculous to think about such trivial things as what journal I'll use next year.
A friend recommended the book, Gilead by Marilynne Robinson a couple of weeks ago. I had the library get it for me and picked it up on Monday. Very rich writing, great story. Click on the book link to get more info from Amazon, if interested.
Take care,
Kay
