Happy New Year, Yuppie Girl!

A New Year.  A NEW Year!  This is going to be a big new year for both of us, for different reasons.

For you, it's the first new year in a new YOU.  A newly-single you.  What lies ahead for you?  I think I know you well enough to know that this is going to a be a year of getting reacquainted with your own heart and soul.  And guess what?!  I think you're going to really like yourself!

For me, it's a different year of firsts....and lasts.  Our baby turns 18, graduates high school and has plans to go to school in your neighborhood.  That would make us empty-nesters.  Wow.   In a few weeks, we will have been married for 25 years.  We're going to spend a few days in Las Vegas.  That'll be the first time we've been there alone. 

You know me well, and you know I don't make New Year's Resolutions.  But I do have some goals for this year.  I'm going to finish the first draft of my novel.  YES!  I am!  I am going to start using moisturizer.  At least around my eyes.  No crow's feet yet, but I thought I'd head them off at the pass.  Really, the important thing I want to accomplish this year is related to that first thing:  I want to write more.  I want to get reconnected to the author's voice inside my head. 

What about you?  Do you make resolutions, or have a few goals, or just fly by the seat of your little size-4 pants?

Love,
Rural Mom
