Last year at this time, after a 2010 that was joyful, painful, hectic, happy, busy and overwhelming all at the same time, I asked for only a few things for 2011 - I wanted everyone to stay put for a while.
It worked! We had no weddings, births, funerals, job changes, moves or other dramatic events. The year was one that allowed me to take a breather, heal my bruises and make some decisions about the future.
We did do a lot of traveling - two trips out west (Wyoming and Utah) and several short weekend trips and a couple longer workshops.
This year will be different. This year I ask for time to heal. I'm having surgery on my knees the first part of the year, then I need to concentrate on getting my strength and stamina back.
To be able to do that, I have cleared the decks of obligations and volunteer work. I will concentrate on my health, my writing, my family and my friends. I will NOT run around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to be everything to everybody. The time for that is over. And to tell the truth, I never was that good at it anyway!
