just a quick note on a steady observation in the new year.
i've done Dry January several times, and this year it's having a more profound impact on my day to day. i think this time, it might be because i'm 0) getting older and feeling consistently better (alcohol just has that nagging and lagging energy suck) is something i really want more of and 1) because we just had Goldie and i'm just so happy when i can strip away anything that interferes with snuggles.
i've been hacking less on Foundation too, but marketing more, and so less of my time has been spent on the computer each day. and the time i have spent has been more impactful.
i've also been reading! i finally finished Boom which had a fascinating ending pondering the spiritual awakening (with significant Christian imagery) embedded into financial growth. that was fun to picture and think on.
now, i've started Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. you can just read books about Genghis Khan.
so, it's been a wonderful first 10 days of January. today was especially good! we had a nice little snow and started our first of a new tradition of Friday pizza and movie night with the kids. we watching Paddington Bear (I got to choose first since i'm oldest) and it was a hit.
i go to sleep with gratitude today.
for all that is done, i say Thanks.
for all that is to come, i say Yes.
