Another day, another dollar, another year

Dear Assorted readers,

And so begins another year. One door shuts, another one opens. It's always fascinated me the psychological impact of a New Year. Try as I might to stay my cynical self, 'I don't believe in resolutions', 'It's just a year, like any other year', even I cannot help but find myself with a clear head and a list of 'plans'. Okay resolutions, if you must. 

And so begins another journey. As those of you who come here regularly will know, 2012 has been a year of recovery and rest. Much needed. The good news, I am happy to report is that it has worked. I am back to the land of the sane, with help from my Doctor and therapist. So now begins the hard work, no longer can I excuse my lack of writing. I am up and out of bed and eating well and thinking straight, so this is the time for DOING. It's a word I've always been scared of, thinking and dreaming are much nicer words. Doing is even harder to say. Say it. Doing. The 'Duh' is so forced. Where as dreaming just falls out of the mouth. It's so relaxing to say. Dreaming. It's so easy to do...just stare into space and there it is...a World, all laid out for you. I digress! As always. DOING is what we are talking about. Doing.  

And so, dear reader, this is my pledge to you and to me and to the God of New Years resolutions. I will write here at least once a week. Like a real blog writer. You have my solemn promise (relapse or death not withstanding).

Now, if you want to know the other resolutions, here they are:

Cut out drink for foreseeable future (at least a month but possibly more)

Write the novel and get a draft done by the end of this year

Eat well

Run and do the marathon training schedule my sister has laid out for me

Put on a play

Film the short film

Cut out bad eggs

Concentrate on and put myself and my future first

Stop reading the Daily Mail online gossip section (this is the hardest of them all and the one I am not confident of fulfilling)

And do you want to know something impressive? It's day two of the year and I have already booked a rehearsal for the Theatre project. Watch this space!

Yours,

The crazy lady clown with the disappointing writing record
