Today was a rainy, cold, lazy Sunday. So says Ditzy
How about some New Year's Resolutions? I hate making resolutions, because they don't usually get kept. But hey...they are a tradition right?
#1 Blog EVERY day.. it may get boring because my life is not all blog worthy..but I will resolve to write every day of 2019.
#2 Read 40 books with my Mom & Me book club (with daughter Dani). Per my daughter we've read about 20 books in 2018 (reading the 20th now).
#3 Save more and spend less. Retirement is still about a half a dozen years away but I feel the need to start saving and not spend so much including donations. I tend to be a sucker for dog rescues.
I've even been day dreaming a little about retirement. There is a part of me that is absolutely afraid of it, afraid that I'll lose my sense of self-worth because so much of my focus has been my career. But when I can tuck that fear into a small box toward the back of my brain and let myself think about retirement in a good sense, I think of what can be done with the freedom of time.
I saw yesterday an article titled "The best 'hole in the wall' diners in every state of the US". I turned to my hubby and said, "Wouldn't it be fun to travel around to each of these diners in every state when we retire?" I think it would be fun...though wouldn't do it all at once. I also have nostalgic, dreamy thoughts about driving the entire Route 66 to see all the unique places on that route. So that is another 'retirement dream'. And there is still more dreaming to be done. :)
I think that is all the resolutions I'm setting for 2019. We'll see how well it goes.
