I'm going to try and listen more and talk less. I read recently that people get annoyed when seniors ( in my 60s) tell too many stories (because we have lived long enough to have a story for every situation) and then people don't have fun. Remind myself not everything warrants a reply. If I want to tell more stories I'll write them. Then people can choose whether or not they read them.
But I'm also going to give myself a little more grace if I forget and ramble on.

I'm going to try to journal this year. I'm also going to try very hard to move out of this depressing apartment that has stairs I can barely get up and down. Do less shopping..cause I don't need anything. Get rid of a bunch more clutter and excess stuff I have accumulated. Find a church and a support group. Write cards and letters instead of emails. My car died so I'm going to have to figure out how to get places with public transportation. Lots of changes coming. Progress not perfection.

No, sweetheart. I try to do my very best every day.

Paint every day
