Yesterday, January 01, was New Year’s Day. That means today is the pluperfect NYD. This works for me because I went to work yesterday. Today, I’m free and can make this my New Year’s Day, proving that “Second can be lovely.”
I have four items on my NYD’s agenda: care for animals, go to the gym, visit my neighbor, and read more of Richard Dawkins’ The Blind Watchmaker {1986)–his geneticist perspective on “being human” blows me away. I’m rethinking, reconsidering, and reevaluating much I’ve always taken for granted.
I’m deeply in the learning and processing stages. I can’t yet step back enough to summarize coherently and intelligently here. I will, though, given time.
Experience teaches that I cannot “push the gym” experiences. Trying to do too much too soon (or all at once) ends my willingness and efforts. This year, I will go to exercise on my days off–hopefully, 3X weekly.
My neighbor has just returned from an emotional visit to her sister, whom I know and care about, and who’s dealing with the onset of dementia. My visit will have us catching up and planning for the year ahead.
Dear Friends: No resolutions yet, but I’m keeping an open mind. Diana
