After thinking about this a while—when I was actively avoiding engaging in the same activities—I decided there's a reason behind this compulsive cleaning and organizing.
What they're acctually doing is a physical manifestation of making room for the New Year. I think this is a good thing.
It's like warming up your engine for the Grand Prix race ahead—making new starts, changing habits, improving whatever one thinks needs to be optimized, undertaking new projects, etcetera.
Make room in your life for new beginnings. Clear the decks for that all important assault on resolutions or goals or whatever you choose to call those good intentions we all have to optimize our human body, mind, and spirit. I cheer you on and wish you the best.
In my case, what comes next is the writing. I'll confess I do have writing projects listed. I'm excited about getting some new books out. If—yes, if because there are always challenges—my eyes and vision hold up, I'll make that a reality.
In the meantime, if you've been clearing the decks and getting ready to launch yourself into the stratosphere, figuratively speaking, I'm offering a free romantic comedy so you'll have something to read when you run out of things to do.
You'll notice JUST ONE LOOK is still wearing its Christmas cover.
