Here Comes 2018!!!

Perhaps it's a side-benefit of the aging process, 

this perspective that time is flying by so very fast.  

I wish there was a repellent for 

those pesky time-flies!  

Maybe in the New Year I will remember to 

savor the moments and not rush through my day, 

day after day, 

possibly missing the truly important things.

My involvement with the mail art community 

has brought me much inspiration and some 

wonderful friendships which I would not have 

found elsewhere, and for this I am very grateful.

For the first time ever, I am publicly 

listing a few hopeful "resolutions" for 2018:

to be braver in my creative efforts
to make more art and to enjoy the process more
to nurture friendships
to practice better time management (?)
to pay more attention to the blessings around me
to take health improvement and maintenance 
more seriously, among other things...

And to keep up with my correspondence?
And to tidy/organize my workspace?

Oh, and to breathe deeply and often.

I had better write them on a Post-A-Note 

and stick it to my forehead.

May this New Year ahead be even better 

than those behind us.

I wish everyone 

PEACE, JOY, and LOVE 

throughout 2018.
