I cannot measure my life by the many hours I have wasted doing frivolous things. I can only hope the good and important outweighs the less important things that I seem to always find to do. (Love-love-love the PBS Jane Austen movie series of late)

There is so much I want to do:

• I love to read and came home with a stack of books from my book group the other night that I want to read. So much to read - I have to make light reading second in relation to other reading that is urgent and necessary!!! I have books on my mp3, sitting by my bed, on the desk. (By the way you might want to read Princess Academy, Austenland - by Shannon Hale. If you want to be mightily inspired, read Three Cups of Tea - Greg Mortenson.)

• I want to get more instruction using my Photoshop program - It's not easy to pick up on one's own - at least in this writer's case. I'm looking into classes but they aren't cheap.
  

• I want to get more organized. I love organization and tools that help.
  

• I need to continue reviewing my emergency response material, food storage and work more on organizing my neighborhood's emergency plans, i.e. CERT, Block Captains, survival supplies, etc.
  

• Practice the organ more. My teacher is going to lose patience with me if I miss one more lesson because I wasn't prepared so canceled.
  

• Spend time with my babies (I've got to quit calling them that - I've got two grandchildren that are now in the 2's.) Maybe they'll always be my babies - my sons are!!!!!

• Talk with old friends more!!!!!
• 
  
• Cook more????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JIm would be overjoyed. I'm really into healthy foods, antioxidants, organic stuff. Weird, huh! (The problem is that it is in addition to the unhealthy stuff - you know, sugar, prepared foods, etc.)
  

There is much more that I need to add to this list but can't right now. Same ol' "TIME" problem. But I'm going to work through it this year. Count on it ! - well, maybe!
