In the past I have found Christmas Day to be quite a letdown. After the morning rush of gifts and breakfast, the remainder of the day looms as blank as a piece of copy paper. But now I have plenty to do. Originally I had planned to volunteer somewhere at a soup kitchen or children's home but could not find anything so I am filling up my day by writing and working on my blog. Added a Christmas dinner to our itineray as the Chef where I work was nice enough to give us a piece of meat big enough for all of us to enjoy. If I really wanted to get productive, I would start on my New Year's resolutions but that will wait.
My main project for the remainder of the year is to finish something, anything. Procratination bites all of us in the butt but I am particularly susceptible. Make it a point to close out something that you have fought againsts completing all year. It will feel really good to get it off your plate by midnight on December 31st. I have so much to choose from but I must make my final choice today. Will it be that memoir I am working on for a client? That chick flick that has been almost finished for four years? Or that Christmas script I just started? Just writing it down in this blog is motiviating me to get started because I know that others are watching to see if I have the stamina. We'll see.
