New Year's Resolutions...


I haven't made any, although there is a 'do list' I've been working on for months.

Since I have to drive 40 miles to get to work, we are contemplating moving closer to my office. That will give me 6-8 more hours to be with my wife.

To accomplish this, I have to get rid of many things I collected over the years.

I gave a Kingsoft Chinese dictionary to my niece who recently graduated studies in acupuncture and has an interest in Chinese culture. That's a start. More to follow !

I don't really make any, I'm in a stunned state as this year starts. I do know some things have to be changed, such as some things dropped and some things picked up.
I do however plan to push forward on projects and make things take more of the shape I have interest and ability to do.

Over the past years, I've seen so many sick people, so many elderly people who are sick and so many people who are alone in their elder years and some with sickness, so many sick children and young people with devastating injury and illness; it makes so much about life become viewed with EVEN MORE care about self, people, things and situations.

I was offered a good position, good support from "the" administration, then the guy who made the initial offer, had to move back to where his wife is. I think I will push forward to pursue some type of position anyway.

Timing truly was not good for the job when it was offered. Because my main focus was my mother, her health and being concerned to insure I do all I can to let her know how much she is cared about, supported, wanted and needed. enduring some frustrating moments with family members, not understanding the depth of moral support she needed from their simple improvement in frequency of physical presence. Some things I could not understand, they became more difficult the more dire the situation became, and understanding was a big challenge. Nothing fits in a neat package, nor does it remain packaged and certainly there is no protective wrapper it could have been wrapped with to keep it in a package. Life just does not work that way.

2012-2013 I went through the cancer and surgery, and now free of the cancer, and having first hand realism about so much that is within the mix of living, that it makes one re-consider and consider again, many many many things.

What will unfold in this year is very much unknown. Still one has to make plans and work on them.
