Good Morning 2011

I had a lovely mostly-at-home week between Christmas and New Year's, with a wonderful, alternately intense and mellow visit from [livejournal.com profile] lediva, as well as time with the usual suspects [livejournal.com profile] bard_bloom and [livejournal.com profile] projectmothra, and a New Year's Eve visit from Trish (whose LJ handle I seem to have forgotten) and her son. The visit from a sniffly, stuffy headcold is less wonderful, but tolerable.

I probably went on more of a vacation from the rest of life than I probably should have, so today I'm scrambling to get everything back under its usual level of control, possibly not in the most sensible order. My calendar shall be filled in correctly with all the things I have promised to people, everything that needs to get mailed and written will get mailed and written, and I will sit down and work through the list of things that need to get done.

I'm not making resolutions per se. But I do have a focus that I'd like to use as a touchpoint this year: being more of myself. I would like to remember to do more of the things that manifest who I am and satisfy me, and less of trying to be other people, likely not as well as they manage to be themselves. Sometimes I get the feeling that I used to be interesting, but that I'm not anymore, and I'd like to be in that space less often.

Hear, hear. This year is a huge year of change for me as well so a lot of what I was as far back as high school that I started suppressing is starting to re-emerge.

Happy New Year, Vicki!

To the best of my knowledge, I was in California at the time and have no children...

This is very embarrassing. I was trying to remember my local friend's LJ, and due to her name, yours stuck in my head. Corrected, and apologies!
