New Years has always struck me as an odd holiday. Winter’s just digging its fingernails into our lives, so . . . what’s different? I used to make resolutions but found they didn’t last. I’m the same person this year as last, more or less.
But this is what New Years is good for: clearing out 2017! All the sorrows and heartaches, and all the expectations I placed on myself but couldn’t fulfill.
Starting with email. You get to this screen, and you click “OK.”

I’d say I made a resolution to actually address my emails as they come in, rather than letting 1,827 of them pile up . . . but I don’t want to lie to myself.
Next step: the dreaded papers stack. Full of all those bits and pieces I figured somebody might want or need, and they don’t.
Every day begins a new year.
Happy New Year!
