the essence

I think I had a good recovery hibernating period two weeks ago. I said "no" to some things & I was able to just stay home & work on things around the house.

I fell in love with the PDA Ray gave me. He actually gave it to me last June when he got a new phone that had a PDA on it. But, I guess as sort of a New Year's thing, I've finally started to really use it. It's addicting! I'm always thinking of a new task that I need to complete so I just add it to my PDA with a due date. It definitely helps me to be more productive & to remember what I need to get done!

My other newest addiction has been organizing. I don't know what's come over me but it's like once I start I can't stop & I try to thing of more things I can organize.

I've never been one for New Year's resolutions but I still love a "fresh" start - whether it be a new year, week, or even day. But, there still feels like there is something significant about a new year. I suppose this year I just really want to get things together & be more productive. I realized that this is the first new year since Ray & I have been married when I wasn't working, in school, trying to get pregnant, or had a newborn. That's the only reason I can think of as to why the start of this year has been so different from others. It makes me feel so good to get so much accomplished!
