Daily Comment

I have some ideas about things I want to address in 2013: 

I want to do something about my lack of exercise. So, I'm going to do something every day. I began today. I want to improve my general health.

Spanish is the language in four out of five of the countries on my expat list. So I want to learn to speak it. I took Spanish in high school, and hated it. Ultimately, I had to take it in Summer School to graduate. Now, I want to learn it; it isn't just the perceived easiest option to meet an arbitrary language requirement. I will be making the investment in a language course.

There are probably more pressing issues, things that may be more important. I don't know. These are the things that top my list at the beginning of the year. 

These are NOT New Year's resolutions. I stopped making New Year's resolutions about 40 years ago. I hate making promises that I'm not going to keep, or that will add stress to my life. 

And, moreover, if I don't get around to learning Spanish, or exercise only occasionally, in the scheme of things, that's okay. I have no deadlines here.
