Welcome to 2013. How is it possible that another year has passed? Considering time seems to pass so quickly, I will not waste another precious moment pondering where 2012 went. No, I will look forward to what hopes, dreams and promises lie ahead as the year begins.
I begin this journey on my day off. Yes, that is right, my day off. One of the most exciting things about this year will be the one day per week that I will not be at work and can spend time doing the things that rejuvenate my soul and spirit. The goal is to do things other than that which relates to Yarntopia. The possibilities are endless.
Today is my favorite kind of day to stay home...cloudy, drizzly, and though it is not cold outside, I have a vivid imagination. John is in Las Vegas for CES, so after getting the girls to school I came home to a hot cup of coffee, caught up on General Hospital, and now have turned off the TV. The quiet is soothing. The only sounds I hear are Maggie and Munchkin, who are both absorbed in their personal hygiene, the gentle hum of the refrigerator, and the train, blowing its horn as it rumbles down the tracks.
With a full day ahead of me, I contemplate my tasks. The only thing I don't want to do is get to the end of my time and wonder what happened to those precious moments. I've already put in a load of laundry and straightened up the kid junk in the living room. So now it is time for a more creative pursuit. I am feeling the urge to play with fiber but really don't want the mess of dyeing the wool, so I guess I will use what I have and card some awesome batts. I have about 10 weeks before the DFW fiber show and I need to have plenty of merchandise.
As I close out this entry I hesitate to put my intentions in writing. I so often fail to live up to my own expectations. Who needs the pressure? But, well, here I go. My ultimate goal is to write something at the beginning of my weekly day off. As a part of that plan I will post pictures of what happened during the week. At the end of the year, hopefully, I will have a record of 2013 in words and pictures.
Onward...through the fog...
