January always enlivens me!  I am lucky to be one of those people who are able to put into the garbage open business, goals, embarrassments, etc. of the closing year when the ball falls into the new one.  In fact this is so pronounced in me that years ago when “someone I’m better off without” decided to profess his love for someone he’d been sleeping with and unceremoniously dump me on a New Year’s visit, I was not as broken with his betrayal(tho’ I was broken), disappointed in his gender(tho’ I was not lovin’ them) as was I completely ticked off by his timing!  He waited until 10 minutes into the New Year to tell me!  Really!  He couldn’t have eased into the subject an hour before?  That way I could have comforted my tender heart with the knowledge that it was done with the passing year.  Nope!  Not him!  Just shows that he really didn’t know me very well anyway!

So now I am in a new year of writing and suddenly I am flooded with ideas and desire!  There are so many places to go in my life right now.  I am in such a period of health, freedom, love, and joy (and am very grateful) that I want to do great things greatly and small things with great love…..But which way to go?

There is the mystery in my head and computer.  I haven’t gotten the first book down and yet relaxing five minutes brought the beginning of the second book into my head!

I really want to blog about being and wine and spirits neophyte!  I wonder though if anyone would be excited to share my journey and maybe learn along with me.

Then there is the beautiful short story “Summer of the Tiger Lillies” that has already surprised me with characters and segues.

And finally there is the land of the unseen…stories of fairies and wizards in my own little Faeriewood; tales of Christmas;  visions of the boundless heart and endless sky.

Always Poetry.

So there is my enviable problem.  I have all the dreams in the world and the time and health to breathe life into them…..Any ideas or desires out there for this year?
