A New Year is a time for some New Year’s resolutions So, here goes: 1. I promise to only watch the news 15 minutes a day - limited to:
2. I promise to keep more things in the fridge that I can present as ‘lunch.’ "Let's see..., where are lemons and the ketchup?" 3. I promise to always check the mirror before my next Zoom. Truth = Yesterday I chose Minnie! 4. I promise that I’ll have more patience as I wait on ‘hold’ for the vaccine scheduler to pick up. My mantra: "They will pick up; they will pick up. Someday, they will pick up, right?" 5. I promise to write down the all the names of the streaming series I sign up for in order to recognize the credit card charges for: Netflix/Hulu/Masterpiece PBS/Disney/Amazon Prime/Britbox/sports networks, and whatever else I said yes to. Truth = Watched one show on each – and then back to Netflix/Amazon 6. I promise to stop falling for and ordering new masks just because they are pretty. (They do look nice - don't they?) 7. I promise to update my sign-off emoji so it looks more like me. I don’t have blue eyes or brown hair! 8. I promise to be nicer to the dog when she asks to go out in 26 degree weather. (not my dog – but cute!) 9. I promise to be more sincere when I tell clients that staying home and not socializing with people is not that hard, and it’s all in your attitude. 10. I promise to stop checking my phone every 2 minutes to validate my existence. 11. OVERALL..., I promise to remind myself to be GRATEFUL and to remain optimistic that some day we will all be able to hug again. And so, Good Riddance, 2020.Stay safe and healthy!
