Thanks Carrie. Pirdy might become pordy if I decide I need an hour a week to Organize my life more than I need Internet time.

I hope you and your daughter will enjoy my chapter books, starting with Pebble Creek, I saw when I went back to your blog. (I tried going back so I could add a link to it here, but then I lost my comment.

Here’s to wishing us all well in finding the balance we need and the time for the things that matter to us.

I’ve been trying since yesterday to think of how I might have answered those questions, had I been seated at that table, and I still haven’t figured it out! That is not to say there was no transformative moment or that no one made a difference to me during the year, but it has made me realize how many significant things just happen without being noticed particularly. As I develop new routines in 2010, I would like to make time to reflect and journal on such things, if not daily, at least a couple of times a week.

Your traditions are so inspired…I might adopt them.

I generally spend New Year’s Eve reflecting on the past year and the balance of my life as a whole. And then I figure out which area of my life needs a little extra time and attention in the coming year. I don’t make resolutions exactly, but I do a little annual re-balancing. Some years I focus more on creativity, or health, or social connections…sometimes something else. (This approach, incidentally, seems to have more staying power than the more traditional resolutions.)

I’m departing from tradition this year, and will be spending New Year’s Eve breaking up with my mother.

Paudie, what a treat to hear from you, and how wonderful that the farm is still in the family. Do you have a copy of that NG article? If not, I’d be happy to send it to you.

I will cc you when I send a couple of photos to Kelly. Not quite as good as being there, but it will do – until Keisha has the opportunity to meet YOUR cat.
