MMMM's Year-End Inventory
Hi ho, MMMLogerinos!
I read Those New Year's Resolutions on Whitley Streiber's Unknown Country website. The author suggested that businesses take year end inventories to assess performance and plan for the new year, but people usually don't take personal inventories of what went right and wrong for them during the past year. Apparently, many folks finding themselves still struggling with the same problems at year's end, just pen some new resolutions that will fall by the wayside by the end of January. So, this time I'm indulging an MMMMM retrospective here on MMMLog.
First, I shed fifteen pounds this year! I'm again wearing a size 8-10 and feeling pretty dang fabulous about it. As to how I accomplished that--I found a way of eating, and not eating, that works for me so that I don't have indigestion any more.
Second, the DH and I had three, count 'em 3, fabulous vacations this year. The first was an Alaskan cruise from Seattle to Alaska on the Holland America Westerdam with the fun people from Seattle Museum of the Mysteries. Then we did our three weeks in Europe with my sister and her DH, cruising from Barcelona, Spain through the Mediterranean, off at Venice followed by four days in London. Fabulous. We've just returned from ten days in Seoul, Korea spending the holidays with our son. That was an unexpected wonderful trip. I hadn't been to Asia before and the visit was so much more than I thought it would be. The son of MMMMM is an excellent host and tour guide. Now that I think about it, I enjoyed another vacation as well as I went to Arizona for my parents' 62nd anniversary party and my niece Jenna's baby shower. The family welcomed Wyatt Euriah Moffitt into the family on December 29.
Third, on the writing front, I developed two new projects we're all very excited about and having good fun with. Expect a whoopy! announcement about them in 2007!
The year's events weren't all so fabulous, but let's not dwell upon those. I choose instead to do more of the things that worked for me and will endeavor to do more of and/or encourage those things and experiences that make me feel good. I'm so grateful for my family, friends, my health and my creative gifts.
A Happy and Prosperous 2007 to all!
