...but I left lots of room for "What Will Be Will Be"--Thank you Doris Day for that!! Lists are all well in good and they can indeed provide direction and a path for planning... but how important is it to always be open to the surprises, be welcoming of the unexpected--this is why I always wear mascara even to pick up the mail--ya just never know!!
So onward -bright shiny new calendars, clean desks, new notebooks, perhaps a new hat or bag...not an organized closet yet though-but that is why there is January!...
and let's see what will be!!!
May all your lists, wishes, dreams, hopes and promises be realized and may the unexpected and the surprises bring you joy in the New Year!

8. Spacing Out: Clear a path, unclutter the room and the mind will follow!!
9. On My Toes: Just Move! Most of us spend our days seated on our seats and those seats need to stretch and move or they can become real pieces of furniture!
