Not Dead

January 2nd, 2007 at 08:56 pm

I’m not dead. And I don’t have any good reason for not posting for three weeks. No good reason, no interesting reason. My Christmas Season was fine; Christmas day was bad, but just the one day. My co-workers loved the presents I got for them, and friends enjoyed their presents as well. Plus, Christmas does not have a lot of personal meaning for me, so having a bad Christmas Day is okay, actually. My actual two favorite holidays are Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day: being grateful and new beginnings.

So, anyway, I am back, and I did not stop doing My Challenge. I spent a bit extra in Groceries (treats), entertainment, and gifts, but it was because of the holidays, not because of not posting.

After my weird little lapse, I do now plan to get back on the posting wagon. It’s the New Year, and it’s month eleven out of twelve months-I’m pretty thrilled that it looks like I will be able to definitely complete the Challenge.

    Hi buddy, good to hear from you! Our minimum wage in Missouri just went up this New Years Day! $6.50! Quite an accomplishment for us voters! Made me think of you! :-)

    Like Dido, I too am interested in hearing how you transition off of the challenge and hearing about what methods you decide to discard and what new habits you'll retain.

    Glad you're back!!! You're one of my favorite motivators & like Ima, you are always good for inspiration!
