2004

Happy New Year, everyone! As for me, I slept through midnight. Or more accurately, I was planning to, until my still-not-gone coughing woke me up. I rang in the new year staring at a Web browser without my glasses, trying to buy stuff on eBay (and accidentally bidding $199 for something when I meant to bid $100. Memo: Wear glasses next time). Resolutions? I am vowing to start working out again, but I'm always doing that. More seriously, I think my main resolution is to try to not look ahead a year or five years. I need to spend more time enjoying the present, instead of bemoaning losses of the past or uncertainty about the future. This doesn't mean I won't try to fix things I don't like about my life. But I need to spend more time fixing and less time planning to fix. They say kids make you think about the future, but I think my new one is making me think more about the present. And especially, a little bit less about the past.
