Happy New Year y’all. On this, the first day of 2026, I’ve resolved (That’s not the same as making a resolution, and I checked the thesaurus to make sure.) to attempt to blog every single day. Some days it may not be more than a sentence or two, especially if I’m not feeling especially inspired; and other days, it might be a lot more.

          I’ve resolved to do this in an effort to get my life under control; and it’s not as though my life has become crazy because, if anything, it’s boring, boring, boring. What I’m attempting is to put aside the books I spend hours of my day devouring only to barely remember what they were about a few days later. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a way for me to avoid my life and the choices I need to make to have a better one.

          I’ve also resolved to not post on Facebook every single time I blog which will be every single day. This decision isn’t necessarily new because I haven’t been doing that with the blogs I’ve posted now and then in the past. I will post this particular blog piece mainly to let y;all know I’m back at it. It will be then be your choice to save the link and check back now and then to see if I actually have anything to say every single day.

          What’s the plan that will keep me from burying my nose in a book while life rushes on by…and believe me, at the ripe old age of eighty, it’s RUSHING, RUSHING< RUSHING. Well, I want to spend more time working on my driftwood since I now have a space set up for that very purpose. I also want to keep a cleaner, more organized house. And, Kuma, poor Kuma, he needs way more attention than he’s been receiving, so we must take walks and play together. When spring arrives, and perhaps before, I want to be out in the garden. I enjoy that, especially when it grows and blooms and becomes what I envisioned.

          Finally, I want to make my fingers dance across the keyboard while my brain pulls thoughts, ideas and stories from its recesses. And, like I said in the beginning of this, the first one, my brain may provide only a sentence or two; but I never know until my fingers begin to dance over the keyboard what may come forth.
