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              

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!
