New Year's Resolution

It's been a long time since I posted to this blog.  Mostly, I have an odd technical difficulty where I can't access the site myself from my internet at home.  Modern technology.  I have a satellite internet provider and apparently its not fast enough for the servers my web sites are located on.  I am probably going to have to change providers, but other than that, I actually like the satellite internet.  So I keep hoping they will figure out how to increase their speeds and remedy the problem.

So the New Year includes resolutions to resume writing more.  I'm happy to say the first book was finished last year.  This year I have to get it published.  It is a fiction piece about a very diverse group of people that take a writing class together and wind up developing unlikely friendships.  The story leaves the potential for several sequels. 

Other resolutions sort of amount to a "To Do" list rather than only resolutions.  The "to dos" will result in resolution type changes when they are accomplished.  The list is lofty.  There are people important to me that I need to visit.  Visits that have been put off way too long.

You know we all do that.  Let time get past us and before we know it its been a very long time since we've seen people that are still important to us.  Sadly, I've lost a couple people in recent years that I hadn't seen for far too long.  When it comes to life and death the reasons I hadn't seen them were weak and pathetic. 

I think more of us should put people like that on their list of things they need to do each year.  Work those things into your life.  You'd be surprised how fast the years slip away that you haven't visited that person and enjoyed their company.  Enjoyed the way they entertained a room, laughed, sang songs or talked with you about "deep" things no one else likes to talk about.  Their memorial is no place to figure that out. 

So I hope I can inspire some to remember to put those people they haven't seen for too long on your list of things to do this year.  Life is short and precious.  What matters is the people we love.  Not the chores we need to get done or the routine we are hesitant to break.  Its the people in our lives that fill our hearts. 

Happy New Year to all.
