There are 15 minutes left to the first day of this new year and I sit here amid feelings I cannot describe. I have so much to say. I have so much I cannot say. There is so much that needs saying but would be wrong to utter right now, today, because I would be unnecessarily rude and my words would be pointless and mean. They’d be very mean. I will find a balance, somewhere, though, and when I do, the words will come and they’ll be correct.
This year. This year I — never mind. It’s pointless. I have learned to stop saying what I intend. I intend to simply DO. Rather than spew line upon line of “what I hope for this year”, I’m simply going to let you know as I complete each thing on my list.
The list. The list has additions almost daily. I have to write them down to remember them all. From try okra one more time, one different way to see if it’s possible to not consider it COMPLETELY USELESS IN MY TRAVELS TO HAPPINESS to oh, hey, I’m published in the Washington City Paper this Thursday, I’m simply going to let you know as they happen (like I did right there.)
There is so much good to be had this year and beyond. There is so much good I am claiming this year and beyond.
I am going to be remembered. This year and beyond.
I am totally using my Buzz Lightyear voice right now. To infinity.
To infinity.
Happy 2013!
congrats on the washington city paper!!!
My new slogan – To infinity!!
I think you may be on to somethin’
Published on Thursday?! Woohoo! SO excellent. Do you want me to link this to the Spin Cycle this week? The one about resolutions-but-I-refuse-to-use-that-word? Let me know. Now come on, woman, “no” on okra? Even okra that has been tossed in corn meal and deep-fried? I mean, what’s not good when it’s been deep-fried? Mmmm, I am getting hungry here. I can’t find any decent Texas-style fried okra out here in So Cal, it’s a shame.
Congratulations on being published and okra? Don’t bother.
Okra is delicious in gumbo…..where you can’t really taste ‘it’ but just the gumbo seasonings. Congrats on getting big time published! Can’t wait to check it out! :-)
Congratulations! That’s huge! And I hope whatever is putting you beside yourself word-wise passes quickly.
Thanks, Rita. It’s trying to linger, but I’m fighting it still.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute! This is kind of a big deal. I gotta go tell everybody – bye!
I love it. I see big things in 2013 and I can’t wait to read about all of yours!
Best New Years post ever. xo
Don’t you mean Buzz Lightlight?
