What will you try to do everyday next year?

Everything remaining equal I see myself still posting everyday about something or other. When I read this quickly, my immediate thought was, what daily prompter, are you calling it quits? Am I on my own, now? I then thought about it and realized that I had panicked a tad. I really like having the daily post come to my inbox with a question or an observation. It gives me an opportunity to divulge parts of myself gradually to WordPress community.

I will continue with my book as well, at some point I’ll be finished writing and I will then be at phase two, which is the difficult part (I think), the editing of my book. During this time I’ll also be educating myself about publishing and self-publishing. So I envision that 2012 will be a continuation of 2011, writing everyday and broadening my writing outlets.

Pre-Christmas Eve

All is quiet this slow day Friday December 23rd, it’s as if everyone is gearing up, regrouping for the day of all day’s and night of all night’s. It’s the calm before the storm. I’m a little tense because I’m driving down to my mother’s tomorrow morning. I’ve been feeling a tad poorly, my mother is feeling very fatigued and she is expecting me to do most of the cooking which is fine, I do love to cook. Why am I tense about cooking at my mother’s house? It is all about the logistics, her oven is different, her kitchen is tiny and we are going to be two exhausted people in a tiny kitchen. Thank goodness we get along and I am not controlling, I take direction very well so there won’t be any clashing. I am stressing as I do whenever it is a major holiday feast. I want the meal to be perfect and everyone knows that disasters can happen to anyone and at anytime. Is McDonald’s open on Christmas Eve? We are celebrating with the family tomorrow night so if the meal is a disaster, the odds of finding an alternative is easier on Christmas Eve than on Christmas day. I torture myself for no reason, we are going to be together as a family and that is what truly matters, tell that to my cook’s ego or insecurity. I wager it is insecurity, I don’t really have an ego. Good luck to me for tomorrow and good luck to everyone else as well who will be slaving away in the kitchens all around the world!
