I had a journal... It needed feeding and watering. Lucky for me, it didn't really, because it would have died months and months ago if it depended on me for anything other than throwing a few words at it now and then. As anyone might be able to guess, I have never been that good with houseplants either.

Anyway, so this is a new journal thingy...I left the old one wilted and choking behind me..hopefully a fresh start will do me some good.

Things are good next door..... not scream orgasmically from the rooftops good...it's more of a meeting my recommended daily allowance of laughter and good food every day type good.... but that's good enough for me. The nights close in early and I'd be lying if I didn't fess up to feeling a little melancholy...I am not a winter kinda gal. I have the daylight savings time marked in my calendar in big red happy letters....SPRING..yeeeeeesss! I will enjoy waking up on time by judging the amount of sunlight in my room in the morning. Long days, the kind where the sun dangles in the west until almost nine o'clock are just my style. These days seven o'clock feels like midnight to me.

I've already broken my New Year resolutions...so, one less thing to worry about... pretty normal for me...all's good. In fact I feel relieved. Am I the only one that craves stability? Why do I need to know that some things will always be there?...stay the same?..even in breaking resolutions I am celebrating familiar sameness.....

I do have goals for 2006... I am going to~

1. Be as nice as I can be to the cat

2. Take my vitamins more than twice a week

3. Evolve

4. Be as nice as I can be to me

....one step at a time.
