Happy New Year!!!

Filed under: Blogging, Touching the Surface

Well, I missed my blog post on Friday and now my post is late for Monday.  Gahh!!!  I have excuses–I do–but you don’t want to hear those.  So let’s just say that stuff happens.  And I shall get my act together.  Now, Lets move forward.  What am I looking forward to, besides better and more timely blog posts?

The kids are off to school.  The basement is getting done.  I’m gonna eat better and exercise.  I have a WIP to dig into, in addition to lots of TOUCHING THE SURFACE related stuff too.  Tons of good things coming down the pike and the best is that the new year starts tomorrow.  Yes, you heard me correctly.  I never think of the New Year as starting January 1st.  For me, the first day of the new year is always after the Labor Day Weekend.  Maybe it’s because I was a student, then a teacher and then a parent and I never left the back to school mentality behind, but it’s just when I organically hit my own reset button every year.  There are no resolutions–just fresh supplies, a fresh start and a schedule.  Oh my, I’m looking forward to a schedule.  I’m needing that right now.  Top that off with Fall is my favorite season and I’m just giddy with excitement!

But hey, the summer was great too.  So, don’t just sit here…go…enjoy the last of your holiday weekend.  *waves bye*  Because, tomorrow…I’m hitting the reset button…ready or not.

When does your “official” New Year Start?

  1. Happy New Year to you! 🙂

    I know what you mean — I went from being a student to a teacher to a mom of students, so this time of year always has a bit of the "fresh start" feel to it. Of course, now my kiddos are finished with school, and I no longer teach, so I think my New Year may be gradually moving back to January 1.
