We're only a week into the new year, and I feel kind of left out. It seems like I'm hearing a lot about how crazy of a year it's been already but not so much on my little spot on the planet. As I say that, I realize there were plenty of times when I would have wished things in my life seemed slow. Before I continue, I should clarify that everything is going quite nice in my life right now, I just can't say honestly that it's matching up to the aliens at the mall in Miami... Have you seen anything on that yet? I literally just came across it so don't judge me if it's been pointed out what it really was. It kinda looked like something inflatable but we'll see. It did seem like a lot of police vehicles for any kind of normal situation though. I got a little sidetracked there but my point is, there seems to be a lot going on in the world today. War, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, fires, all that.. and it's just life as usual here in Northern Michigan. Hmm. Well maybe not. I drove through the Upper Peninsula last week, the beginning of January, and there was no snow on the ground anywhere. They have since gotten some snow but that was a shocker. Anyway, I really don't know where I'm going with this other than make the observation that it's been a slow start. I think maybe my expectations were up a little because of the high strangeness going on these days. Luckily, I don't let my unmet expectations fudge up my world anymore. Expectations always use to get me in trouble. I think I just came up with my New Year's Resolution. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm thinking the only expectation I should take into this year is to do the best I can today, whatever that might be. And accept the results. I'll start there anyway.
