So, it is the new year.  Even though it is an arbitrarily designated day to start the count of the days of another revolution of the Earth around the sun, it still makes many think about beginnings.  New Year’s resolutions are one way people react to beginning a fresh.  I am not a fan of resolutions because usually don’t come with a plan.  Without a plan most resolutions fall the way of good intentions.

Today, I am thinking about beginnings and years coming and going.  My questions to myself are: ‘What do I think I need to make better?’ and ‘How am I going to accomplish those things?’.  I don’t know about everyone else, but I know sometimes the simple improvements or changes that I want to accomplish become huge convoluted time consuming endeavors.  Most of my ideas for change and improvement are interconnected, but I will give you an example of the snowball effect.

I would like to create a more organized and permanent work space in my house.  In order to do that I will need to find a place to relocate some of the objects and furniture presently populating my future work space.  That means I need to purge, edit, relocate other objects, things, and furniture in other areas in the house.  If I am moving furniture around in other rooms, there is no point in just shoving and cramming.  It will be more prudent and  efficient to reorganize those spaces as well.  Thus, restructuring one room becomes a reorganization of most of the house…maybe I should think about painting while I am at it.  It has been a day or two since the rooms have had a freshening up.
