2011's first (and counting) . . .

'If it doesn't make you smile, bring you joy or isn't useful, get rid of it'


That's my new mantra. New year, new outlook. Lord knows, the old way of doing things has produced eff all. I won't call this a new year's resolution (a, because I never make those and b, because the few times I have, I never kept them, ergo reason a!)


So let this be a lesson to you all ... make me smile, bring me joy or be useful ... or hit the road, Jack! (Well, no - not Jack! He makes me smile, brings me joy AND is useful. He also listens (for the most part), loves me unconditionally and doesn't drool, which is more than I can say for many men I've known in my life.)


If I were going to make a resolution (and I'm NOT!), I'd say that I will sincerely make an effort to de-clutter. My surroundings AND my life. I'm getting too old for a cluttered life and as I age, I imagine not having to maneuver around useless shit will make more sense.


It's a Monday so I'm feeling inspired. I'm waiting for people to call me back so I have some time on my hands. Laundry's up to date, but I feel a cooking bug coming on, so I think I'll head to the kitchen and make stew. 


Of course, if I were TimBit, I'd just sleep all day ...
