The big freeze killed a lot of our tropical plants and trees in spite of our best efforts to protect them. The devastation is very depressing, so it’s been hard to maintain a positive outlook. But “thinking positive” doesn’t mean “always happy,” and I haven’t let the setbacks derail my daily effort.
I’m getting better at managing my time, for one thing. Last year I complained a lot about having so little time and so much to do. I had more time than I thought. I merely wasn’t spending it wisely. I’ve spent less time lounging on the couch and more time doing things that I need and want to do recently. I’ve got more room for improvement, but I’m heartened by the progress I’ve made.

My 2009 “philosophy” resolution was to be more like one of my characters and find the bright side to things. I can’t say I’ve perfected it to her level (isn’t that why we create characters? To do things we wish we could), but I’m still working on it.
One plugs away. Time management? Oy!
