Thinking about the new year...

Thinking over the year that has past I see that there are many things I would have liked to have done but didn't get around to doing. I sort of feel like I'm in the middle of a river, out of control, being shuffled along. This would be a great accomplishment...to get a handle on doing what I really want to do instead of being pushed and pulled along by so many seemingly insignificant whims. I think "paint, draw, read and write" should be my new mantra.
