A Good Day

January 1 was a nice, stay-at-home day for me.  I did some relaxing, reading the paper with my morning latte and playing Words With Friends with my friend Sharon.

If it's true that what you do on the first day of the year will set the tone for the entire year to follow, I'm in good shape.  I did my favorite things -- relaxing at home and cooking.  I made good use of our Christmas ham bone, and made split pea soup.  It's chilling on the back porch, I'll finish it up tonight and we will have it for dinner.  I dearly love split pea soup!  I also made Hoppin' John for dinner, it's supposed to be good luck to eat black eyed peas on New Year's Day.

I did a lot of peeking out the back porch windows at my cats.  I love to watch them, even if they are just eating and stretching.  They do a lot of stretching!

This is Brando, he is so adorable:

My food was very moderate, too.  And, per my resolution, I logged everything that I ate.  All in all, a very good start to the New Year!

A Resolution

Happy New Year!  Call me naïve, but I always have a feeling of hope for a shiny new year.  I will be a better person!  I will do everything I am supposed to do!  At least I think about it, right?

Along with the usual "eat right and exercise" resolutions for 2015 I resolve to try to journal, and to write on this blog.  It's therapeutic.

I will write what I did that day.  What the weather was like, what happened at work, what my cats did, what my husband did.  How did I feel?  I will just try to write something, every day.
