01/365
Ladies and Gents, it's Twenty Ten.
I remember thinking, back when Vancouver was bidding to be host city for the 2010 Winter Olympics, that I was going to be absolutely ANCIENT then. Well now here we are. I guess that makes me an Old Woman, excuse me while I go blindly stumble over to feed my 10 cats and take care of that wee problem I've developed with incontinence ... sheesh, perspective, "old", contrary to my younger-self's predictions, feels pretty damn good.
It's a new dawn, a new day, a new life, folks. 01 of 365. Anything is possible. I won't rattle off a prosaic list of resolutions, even though like most humans I admit I have a few to-do's scribbled down. I got smart this year, jump started the whole Change Game by burrowing in and beginning some new things in November instead of January, it's the reason for my blog-world silence and I'm thankful for having had the space in life for it. I realize I'm lucky, not everyone gets to slow down for a solid chunk of time and give things their whole focus. It was transformative for me, I'll save the hows and whys for another time. But on top of that, it leaves the 2010 To-Do List now, of course, completely reasonable, I have it narrowed to only 10 Big Things and oh about 15ish little ones. Easy Peasy. Should have that all taken care of by next week.
So, no "This Is What I'm Doing" list for public consumption, let's see how she goes. Instead I'll leave this teeny bit of inaugural New Decade writing with a theme for the year, a mantra I adopted the last few months and will carry over with me. It's been teaching me patience and sticktoit-ness and youcantalwaysseewhatsgoingon-ness:
Trust the Process.
Peace on your New Day, all. My Parentals are, at this moment, making their way into the BigCity to bring me leftover holiday meat ... must go clean things. Two more days of True Carnivore Happiness until I embark on a "Raw til Dinner" experiment. Most Excellent. Maybe.

Is there a better song to start a new year than Nina Simone's Feeling Good? My newest favourite cover is from My Brightest Diamond. Live and recorded versions below :)
