Reset and Reframe

Well, we are finally done with holiday travels, celebrations, and cleanups—at least, I think we’re done. As usual, I didn’t accomplish a lot of work during the season, but I was able to relax a lot ... which led to a good deal of reflecting and thinking. And those were profitable endeavors for me.

I have been under more stress than I realized ... much of it self-imposed. I am still working on understanding that, but in the meantime, I have been able to ramp it down, and keep it down. I also realized that I had slid back into a more negative perspective, which was perpetuating and creating problems for me. Instead of focusing on what is missing in my life, I’m choosing to reframe things, and view them from a more positive angle. I may be on the downhill side of life now, but that doesn’t mean that it’s all misery and waiting for the inevitable. Not that that was my frame of mind ... but it was getting too close to it for my comfort. Truth is, I don’t know what’s in store for me; but I suspect that this year will be one of major change. Well, I do have some changes planned; but in addition to those, I sense other possibilities. We shall see what we shall see.

Along with personal resets, I am resetting Sunni’s Salon. My October interview victim has apparently backed out of the rematch, so I am going to skip that issue for now and concentrate on a January issue, which will include elements of the planned November-December issue. Don’t know when it will be out—I have to wrangle this interview victim still—but it will be done by the end of the month. Thanks to everyone who let me know how much they missed the Salon; you helped revive my interest in doing it.

Onward to better days!
