Waiting for the water to boil or the nail polish to dry (or your turn in the endless line of party preparers waiting to pay the cashier) is a time when the topic of New Year's resolutions crops up. And there's a minute to think of what you want to be, and how you want to be.
What I want to be is a better writer. How I do that is write this and my "patient experience" post on HEN BACKTALK blog today.
How I want to be is free of this disease. How I work toward that is to show up for my radiation appointments. And go for a walk before my pre-appointment shower. And another walk later. And some workout time this evening. And skip the vanilla latte today. And take a nap if I need one today.
How I want to be is a good friend and relative. I know some ways to do that today.
If you are in a group that believes in paying your debts by the new year, you can write one check today. Or two. I can call the dentist and ask her to take my cleaning off my credit card today.
I still don't have a place for a kitchen calendar where I could put gold stars for things I do today, but I still do have a red purse calendar with room to draw a star or two.
Today.
