Indications are that 2010 should be an interesting year. Just like all the others---lol!
1. Baby watch has begun in earnest, so a new little personality will bloom on the family tree.
2. There will be some absurdity. In an idle moment watching Family Feud, the question was to name something Queen Elizabeth does without wearing her crown. Immediately I thought to myself that 9 times out of 10 she's wearing a funky hat not a crown, but that was immediately pushed aside by the team's answer of "take a shower." The absurdity of that mental image blocked all others, including fooling around with the king.
3. There will be new things to discover. Today it was canned strawberries.
4. Some things will change. I have resolved to do things uncharacteristic of myself for 2010. I figure that anytime I do something this year that I didn't do last year, I'm living up to that.
5. Some things will not change. For instance, not getting my loved daughter-in-law's birthday present in the mail to arrive on time. Yeah, that lame excuse of "just wanted the celebration to last longer" is sounding weak even to me.
6. People will surprise me. More and more I am espousing the song title philosophy of "God is great, beer is good, people are crazy." (Though I don't think I'll be drinking any beer this year.) But, too, I'm sentimentally afraid that more people will surprise me by not being here anymore. It's been a rough couple of months.
7. My to-do list to get back some "normalcy" is so long that I have to fight the inertia that sets in when I just contemplate it. Must. Do.
8. My butt and my brain will get more of a workout than my backbone and my hands.
And it's only January 2. Whoa.
