That's what I heard people say all week long. Apparently, it's the new American equivalent to 'Have a nice holiday.'
Well, the jokes on them because I actually didn't. Yes, I had some stuffing. It was awesome. And I had some mashed potatoes, and sweet potatoes and homemade cranberry sauce and pumpkin roll and apple pie.
But I don't feel bad about any of it. Life is about being able to enjoy the things that are made to be enjoyed. I eat well all the time and yesterday I ate well too. Today I will also eat well, but the pie is gone. The pumpkin roll holds no more appeal for me, and I don't need more potatoes. I can get back in the grove with no regrets.
Today is all about decorating for Christmas, since I don't go in for the Black Friday mall madness. [I order my gifts on line, because that's what on line shopping is for.]
Updates this week: I broke up with Twitter. My pen name with the Twitter account is gearing up for retirement, so there was no point in staying on line. My plan is to have a simpler life in 2015. I may be breaking up with Facebook soon too. I plan to keep my personal account which is tied to the pages of my two original writing names, but the 3rd name may be bowing out. I just need to decide if I'm going to make an announcement on the website. That may be my next plan. We'll see. My goal for 2015 is to write. To publish and then to write more. No more wasting hours on social media that could be spent writing. No more promoting to other writers who are only there to promote to me.
I suppose I do need an online presence, but I haven't figured out how make that work without it making me feel sick. I really want an unconnected life - I know, in the 21st century that's just crazy talk, but I do. I want to live my life outside of my computer screen 90% of the time.
We'll see how that goes.
