Four places I would rather be right now:
1.  Ocean Side Park, Del Mar, CA, eating Del Mar pizza and watching the sunset
2.  on the overnight ferry from Piraeus to Crete, knowing we're going to wake up in Crete
3.  eating dinner at the Attikus Restaurant in the shadow of the Parthenon
4.  right here, oceanfront, book in hand, friends alongside, kids swimming, just about hot enough to be ready to get in the water

Four things I am looking forward to this year:
1. I'd like to go on a little trip somewhere with my family...
2. sewing more, knitting more, making more
3. Getting squared away in my work life.  (Finding balance and organization and maintaining joy)
4. Becoming a better me.

Four goals I am pursuing:
1. Spend less money (Can you hear Neel cheering from where you are?  I can.)
2. Be less absolute in my judgements.
3. Getting squared away in my work life. 
4. My main catch all resolution for every year:  to be a better me.
