Well. I'm doing it. I'm eating blueberries. I don't like them, particularly, but one can only read a thousand or so notices that scream that blueberries are a superfood before thay find themselves in the grocery store, staring at the blueberries, hand reaching out, taking a box, and placing them, almost offended by their superfood status, in the grocery cart with the squeeky wheel that pulls to the right. (Thanks, Ms. Greiner for the English lesson - I'm sure that sentence broke a couple of rules).
What is it about us and things that are good for us? We have a love hate relationship with all things healthy and life-giving. Well, often we have a hate-hate relationship with such things. Cue the blueberries.
Maybe my new year's resolution should be to let some of the things that are good for me into my life this year. But, it's not.
My new year's resolution is to recognize the things in my life that are already good. There are so many things in this mixed up bundle of days, weeks, and months that are positive and lovely. It will be a pleasure to honor those things in how I live.
Oh, and I'm starting yoga.
Happy New Year.

Wow!
Well, it seems someone actually reads my blog. Thanks to you, mystery man. I love/hate JoCo too.
Andrew is back in school and I'm worried that things might get scrappy. He's having trouble reading and writing and, while he's only in second grade, it frustrates him and worries me. Reading has always been second nature to me - since I was three years old. I'm passionate about it, and so is his dad. I'm sure, to a young boy who sees books and people reading everywhere, not being able to read is a pain. A pain in the ass and a pain in the heart.
I've been feeling good. Really good. Really stinking good. I actually went tubing and snow mobiling this past break and, I must say, I'm an avid winter sports enthusiast now. Whew! Not that I'm planning on skiing or snowboarding...but I would say two winter "sports" counts as enthusiasm. At least for me.
I keep saying that there's only a few people I used to love or have a relationship with that aren't on facebook. But it turns out, those people are popping up too. Well, who knew we would find each other again. Every time I get a friend request, I wonder if the one or two people I am waiting to find are there - just a click away. And it turns outm they are - most of them. And then we find each other and go back to an odd type of silence that says, "I know you're there, but I'm not really going to talk to you any more than I did before I "befriended" you. Just to make sure you don't think I'm too into you."
Wierd.
And can you tell, I spend a lot of time on facebook. And I still love it although I fear our love affair won't last forever.
