Happy New Year! What Are You Doing Today?

It's a new day, a holiday and a new year. The possibilities are endless, yet I seem paralyzed by what to do next.

I started unloading the dishwasher so the breakfast dishes can go in...

I'm sitting here with my green smoothie - who knew something so healthy could be delicious, even with chard, kale and spinach making the color a bit pukish?

I started cleaning out the refrigerator....so there is food sitting out on the countertop.

Then I decided to take a few minutes and watch the birds on the feeders...and then I heard some email come in on my laptop, so I wandered over to check it out...

...and here I am, back in the Rain, accomplishing, well, not much of anything.

A relatively quiet day brings so many possibilities and I don't want to squander it. It's just that the possibilities are endless and I cannot decide what to do next! The only thing on my schedule for sure is the Alabama game tonight!

Well, once I am out of the kitchen, of course...

What's on your agenda today?

Hi Susan, that sounds like you are having a very relaxing day. I have spent the last few hours talking to relatives out of state on the phone. So much so that the phone is recharging at this moment

I had an easy day, today. It started off so slow and I watched it snow for a while. I called a few friends. Then I went to an annual party some friends of mine have. Then I saw a beautiful sunset. Then I came home and posted that picture of the sunset to AR. And so far tonight...it's like the rest of the day...very easy.

I drink green juice in the morning, too. Also carrot juice. That's my favorite.

It has been my tradition for the past 8 years to go swimming on New Years Day. Fortunately, that's in a 90 degree pool at my health club. Today, it was followed up by lunch, and a nap!

Susan, I am sitting in the hospital room with my sister. Her husband has been in ICU since December 28. I have been staying with her and helping/supporting anyway I can. I am commenting on posts here in the room.

Sounds like you had a relaxing day. I love fruit smoothies . I do not think I will have chard, kale and spinach smoothies.

Susan, I love this and can relate! I've found that I get distracted so easily that I find I've started at least ten things without finishing any of them.

Patricia Feager, MBA, GRI, Cert Negotiations Expert, Military Relo Prof Oh, if only they WERE green! I was skeptical, but added a chard/kale/spinach blend and it was absolutely delicious. You cannot taste the greens. It did turn my strawberry smoothie sort of a pukish pinkish brown. Now THAT is a nasty color, but it was oh, so good, it went down without a problem. Don't let the greens turn you off, you do not taste them and they are so good for you.

I took down the tree and decorations and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. It's always cathartic and helps me from getting the blues once my kids head back home. Happy New Year Susan. D
