January 20, 2013
Well, here we are – another year
has started. 2013 already. Amazing.
I remember as a child when I would hear someone say, “…in the year
2000…” it seemed so far away and futuristic to me that I figured it would be
very “Jetson-like.” I also pictured myself
as being positively “ancient.”
Then there was the “Back to the
Future” movies – especially the one that takes place in the year 2015. “Jennifer” walks through the town and says,
“I’m in the year 2015.” She says it in
awe—amazement—wonder. And here we
are—2013.
2013. I’m 52—not ancient. It’s also not “Jetson-like” – although we
have technology and the “know how” to create technology as seen in the Jetsons,
it’s not readily available yet. There are robots in the science world—they use
them mostly for experimenting—but they are there. We also have vacuums that can clean by
themselves—no need for a human to be pushing them. Again, we don’t have the technology as they
had in the “Back to the Future” movie.
Or, I should say, we have the “know how.” There are scientists out there that know how
to create the technology shown in the movie—it’s just not readily available
yet. I think that New Year’s Eve, 2014
will be the perfect time to re-watch that movie.
Now the month is half over
already. I’ve had a very productive year
so far. I’ve been getting a lot of
cleaning, organizing and sorting done. Things
I’ve been “meaning” to clean/sort/organize for a long time I’ve finally gotten
to. I have a lot more to organize, but
now that I’ve started, I’m motivated and energized to keep going until I finally
finish. I want to finish my projects—sewing/crochet. I want to read books that have been stacked
up to read for years. And I’ve decided
that this is the year I will finish the projects that have been sitting for so
long and this is the year I will start reading the books I want to read. I want to keep up with my writing—journals,
stories and blogs. I’m going to
accomplish these things by focusing on what I’m doing and quit letting myself
get sidetracked. And I need to quit
doing things that waste time. I need to be
mindful of how I spend my time and make sure that every waking minute is spent
on something useful—not time wasters. So,
now it is time to post this and then move on to the next project.
