The gifts are unwrapped…..
The cocktails sipped…
And the many morsels of food consumed. This year we hosted our own little Cajun Christmas Eve feast.
There were crab hush puppies, blackened alligator, red beans, jambalaya and Beignets … Yes mom perfected her Beignets leading up to Christmas and they were as delightful as ever.
Christmas and the holidays are over. New Years Eve was spent celebrating the wedding of one of my bestests 🙂
And a week later I was celebrating the nuptials of another!
Now, I find myself being asked to share my new years resolutions…. and I don’t have any. I’ve never been much for them, as past experience never set a great bar. I have too many things I want to do. I want to write more, let my creative juices flow… perhaps find myself with an actual camera and take classes?
Like the masses I want to travel.
I have finance goals… I want to be a landlord (competing interests?)… I want a number of things.
I want to rediscover my kitchen and stacks of cookbooks.
Perhaps I take 2016 as my planning year? The year I narrow it down? A year of thinking, of strategy? A year to save, to question and decide?
What are your strategies for narrowing down your goals? Have you ever taken a “planning” year?
Last but not least, I want more brunch in my life 🙂
Run, don’t walk to Burch, and order this crab toast! You will thank me 🙂
