Productivity (sort of)

I am off work today. So far, I have woken up (always a good start), had a cup of coffee, witnessed a beautiful sunrise (see left), checked in with my "computer friends" (blogs that I read--people I have never really met, but since I spend five days a week reading about their lives, I feel I have some sort of friendship with them, even if it is one way),  ran 2.3 miles on the treadmill, showered, had another cup of coffee, surfed the internet, ate cereal and had another cup of coffee (hey, it's sort of a holiday), put away the Christmas tree (yeah, I know the date--it's artifical. I could leave it up til June if I wanted), and prepped Super-Veggie Beef Stew in the Crockpot for dinner. Holy cow! I can't believe how productive I have been today! With that said, I am off to take a little nap. Maybe when I wake up I'll have another cup of coffee (mmmm.....coffee).

 Four cups today...too much?

Happy New Year!

Here's to a happy and healthy 2012! 

One of my favorite quotes and wise words for the beginning of a New Year:

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― Mark Twain
