HAPPY NEW YEAR! AKA Good Riddance, 2020!

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:
  • The weather
  • ‘Uplifting' news stories
  • COVID fashion update
  • Celebrity book clubs
  • Latest on Amazon delivery delays in my area              
Picture
2. I promise to keep more things in the fridge that I can present as ‘lunch.’
Picture
"Let's see..., where are 
lemons and the ketchup?"
3. I promise to always check the mirror before my next Zoom.
Picture
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.
Picture
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. 
Picture
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.
Picture
(They do look nice - don't they?)
7.  I promise to update my sign-off emoji so it looks more like me.
Picture
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. 
Picture
(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.
Picture
10. I promise to stop checking my phone every 2 minutes to validate my existence.
Picture
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!

Fun blog for the new year. I especially resonate with #5 and #11. What a year of lessons as we leaned into ourselves and our home life.
