Auspicious Start

OK. So maybe, this wasn’t the most auspicious start that I can imagine for the New Year. But it was still a good day.

At the beginning of each month, I calculate our net worth. I find that’s a much more promising metric than just looking at our debt.

I’ve decided that my THEME for this year is ACTION.

So, what actions did I take today? I followed a recipe from Julia Child to make a decent French Onion Soup. I probably did not brown the onions enough, but it was a worthwhile attempt.

I also took my daughter shopping, which is something that she loves.

I worked a little bit on a book that I’ve decided to complete and publish this year. Writing is hard. I did not make as much progress as I would have liked.

Apart from that, I enjoyed visiting with my sister and listening to a good audiobook.

Tonight, Karilyn and I are planning to watch more of the wonderful Apple TV series, Monarch.

I have to remind myself that it’s the little actions that make a big difference over time. I ate a fairly healthy lunch. I did a bit of online learning. Let’s see what becomes habitual as the year progresses.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here’s to a promising 2024.
