Resolutions?

I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions. Like many mothers of school age children, September is when I begin anew: I vacuum the sand out of the beds and the grass clippings out of the car; I take long walks and re-commit to my writing.

Sunday evenings have also become a time for me to organize and evaluate. I'd like to say that a weekly review brings continuous improvement and refinement, but alas I fall short so many weeks. My goal to try new recipes succumbs to taco night, my daily writing time is bit into by life, and my plan to work out is undermined by no one other than me. But a lot of weeks I do most things "good enough". Maybe not perfect, but "good enough."

So instead of resolutions, I'm sending wishes: I hope that 2009 is all that you need it to be, whatever that is. I wouldn't be surprised to find that I don't need new gourmet recipes after all. Family taco night suits me just fine!
