Procrastinations & Resolutions

I had planned to write this post this morning. But I just couldn't seem to get started.  I sat down again thirty minutes ago to start writing it again.  But first I had to check e-mail, Facebook, and peruse the sports news.

When I was a kid, the Christmas tree and decorations came down on New Year's Day.  It was a family tradition.  A tradition that my wife and I have carried on, until this year.  I came up with today's topic last night, as we finished taking down the last of the Christmas decorations.

This year did not really have that Christmas feel to it.  I know my Father had mentioned feeling something similar on Christmas Eve.  Perhaps the decorations did not come down on time, as a way of  prolonging the holiday.  Either that or we were just really lazy the last few days of the holiday.

Of course New Year's Day also means resolutions.  I made three this year.  One was health related.  I resolved to only eat one serving at meals.  It has already been broken.  One was domestically related. I resolved to wash the dishes right away after we finished eating.  It has already been broken.  My final resolution was technical.  I resolved to use more of the features on my cellphone.  That one is still ongoing.  However, I have yet to leave the house this year.
