Snow Melt

December is off and Running

December got off to a good, but chilly, start. On December 1, I posted the first entry for the month in "Welcome to My Life"  titled "Sunday Review: The Count Down Has Begun" , which I am using to review 2013. I plan to post an entry every day that review 2013 with ideas or goals to accomplish in 2014. I also managed to be the first to post in "Invalid Item" , for which I received a merit badge. I also received a merit badge for a post I made in "Memories of Snow"  in November for a "Invalid Item"  prompt. The title of that entry is "November Memoir: These are some of my favorite things" .

Very early this morning, I I posted to "Invalid Item" , "Weekly Goals" , and made today's entry in "Welcome to My Life"  called "I have to Remember to Clean my Balls in 2014" . This week I have four goals which I have listed in "Writing in Snow"  under "Invalid Entry" . I rechecked this week's edition of the fantasy newsletter (a few minutes ago after drinking my second cup of warmed over leftover coffee) to make sure I did not miss anything when I checked it over last night. I also wrote two Christmas poems yesterday "The Christmas Truce of 1914"  and "Santa Stalker" , which I entered into contests. I also started another Christmas poem called Christmas 2013, but I could not get it to work the way I wanted so I went to bed. I will go back to it after while and see if a different approach helps.

It seems like just yesterday
New Year's fireworks proclaimed
the year's birth,
now 2013 complains
of the pain
in arthritic fingers and toes:
where did the year go?
