On The First Day of This New Year

Okay, so it's not been a full year yet. Though it's apparent that at least one of my resolutions from last year hung on & persisted according to plan. I got this thing going just in the nick of time on the last day of the month last year.

I've taken each season of the year & shared from them - based on what I know. The process of writing is ever-changing & this space is no different. To that end, plenty will remain as it's been & the glory of it is "change" can be what it needs to be, when it needs to be.

At one point early on last year I highly considered making Friday "movie night". This plan never reached fruition mainly because I would find myself "on a roll" of whatever theme or topic I'd be writing about for several days, & usually those subjects would roll into a next one, which never encompassed tossing movies randomly into the posting stream.

I remember initially struggling on subjects & writing, mainly because most of what I'd think to include would be most sensible for a not-so-January-through-May time of year. Somehow I managed through those first months & here I am now. Back in January.

In order to make sure that I'd definitely keep on posting, I managed to write & post each day for the first several months. I remember when I finally convinced myself to drop back to posting just six days a week, giving myself one day away. Then, by the time the school year rolled around I told myself, take a bit more time away, though make sure to keep up to at least every-other-day. And so I have. Thus far I have.

Now it seems, at least for a bit, I really should permit myself to lag an extra day or so in the week if my schedule deems it necessary; essentially to be relieve of my self-imposed requirements. I've made myself a few New Year's Resolutions this time around too. Sticking around this space is definitely included, especially as I've truly grown to find this space to be a refuge for me since its inception.

So, here's a movie, where I may have heard this song for the first time. If not the first time, it would've been the first time I heard the song where it had direct significance & meaning. It has meaning for the New Year in many ways. Incidentally I was listening to the radio yesterday & heard a song with a similar line. (Not this song either, though, again, a very similar line.) I was bummed hours later realizing that I'd not used my Sound Hound App to learn what the song was & the artist's name.

In the past year I've also learned about letting these things go. Well, I knew about this trait before, I just began making a better practice of it over the past year. This poor decision about a song on the radio is one such example. (And the song lyric sort of speaks to the same. 😁) I'll probably hear it again tomorrow, or have an "a ha" moment while driving & think of it then. Such is the way that life goes sometimes.

Here's to a new year!
