a new page

It’s been long enough. Did anybody even notice?

I’m just sneaking in with another sporadic post to warm the place up a bit.  As much as I like it here, I get into this thinking that when I blog, it has to be thoroughly grammatically correct and coherent, even if it is just pure rambling; so I would end with unfinished drafts, or deleted ones, or to simplify things, not writing at all. This year, I decided that short, random (okay, still sporadic) journals are better than none at all.

Though I stopped drafting New Year’s resolutions many moons ago, I eagerly look forward to this season to re-examine goals, intentions, and the way we do things; to declutter; and to reorganize. I started in strides, now at a snail pace, but progress nevertheless. Fresh start. New page. Just like this one.

I also added a new link here, Books Read 2009, to record what I am reading at the moment. Not a thorough list, but at least something to share.

For our read-aloud, here’s what we have lined up for 2009:

• The Princess and the Goblin
• The Swiss Family Robinson
• Heidi
• and one of Charles Dickens

Ah. It’s warm and cozy here now. It feels good. Welcome.

BLESSED NEW YEAR TO YOU!
