If you are a Seinfeld fan, you no doubt know about "The Summer of George." George gets fired from the Yankees and decides to enjoy himself all summer and become very active. Of course it's Seinfeld so this doesn't happen. George becomes so lazy that his muscles atrophy and he has to learn how to walk all over again.
Luckily, I have not lost my job, and I'm pretty good at being busy, but sometimes I can get into a rut. I can get grand ideas to try new things only to give up on them before I even start. I worry about stupid stuff that in the long run isn't that important. I'm trying to make everyone around me happy, while I neglect myself. And worst of all, I keep doing the same things over and over again hoping to get a new result. How many of us have done that? Come on, you know you have.
So thus is born, The Year of Mary. I am ready for new adventures. I've got some horseback riding lessons on the docket. I'd like to play tennis again. I need to write more. In my six and half years in Dallas I yet to be in town for the famed St. Patrick's Day Parade. That changes this year. I think I'll be IN the parade (how 'bout them apples?). Oh there are so many things I am going to do this year (sadly Money, Money, Money by Abba is playing as I type and I wonder where am I going to get the money for these adventures).
As I have these new adventures, I will try to update you on them. We'll see what happens. If anyone has anything to suggest for The Year of Mary, please do. I would love to hear your ideas!
