Academics think of the new year as beginning in the fall (because of classes), but I'm hoping this will be a new start. Herewith some wishes for myself and anyone else who would like them:
1. For having a better work-life balance.
2. For finding new interests (crafts such as paper-making? more focus on local history?) and new sources of joy.
3. For finding more time for what matters. I've canceled both the New York Times and the Washington Post (sorry, Carolyn Hax) for their relentless cheerleading of guess-who. Anyway, I find more of WaPo's actual news reprinted in my local paper, since their digital format is all silliness and Trump.
4. For spending less time on teaching, however fascinating I find it.
5. For getting unstuck and unstalled on one writing project and finishing a major part of another project.
6. For being outside more and using my standing desk adapter thingy (not a real standing desk) to stop the fidgets when writing.
I wish you all joy, happiness, and peace in the new year!

Great Cat, I'm totally with you on 4 and 5! And I already pay very little attention to the news, so yeah, let's do that thing of living in the past/imagined worlds. Happy merry jolly berry!
