I tend to not make New Year's resolutions, but I usually do a review of the year on paper where I list my accomplishments and those things I had hoped to do, but failed to finish or accomplish. My year's end review includes the relationships in my life listing relationships that have strengthened, weakened or need work.

I did not write a review last year. I could not write about losing Tod and I was stuck in a deep depression even if I did not know it then. I am writing one this year and I have a lot of ground to cover. I exhibited my art only once in 2009- the January show in Plant City arranged by Shelly, but I did not even bother to hold an opening or a reception. I did the show only because I committed myself. Needless to say, getting back on track with my art is going to place high on my list of priorities for next year.

I write and I have two unfinished manuscripts laying around. One was finished but I lost the Word file for it and have to scan the entire thing back in using an OCR program, then do some final editing. The second one has been stuck at chapter 8 for two years. One reason is because the heroine's daughter commits suicide- and I started this a year before Tod died! I had no idea that I would have to live my words. I want to finish these mss this year, which means I have to make time for them. It is not like I do not have time. I waste hours every day playing Scrabble.

Relationships- that is a whole other post! None are as they were two years ago. I also think that I am about due for a boyfriend. I had one brief relationship with a man two years ago, and no one else in about five years. The last guy was nice but jealous. I cannot handle jealousy. There have got to be some nice 60-something single guys left, don't you think? Knowing guys like Randy and Jon on this site encourages me. Clearly, some great guys are still out there. I just have to look for them!
