Never too late...




I don't make New Year's Resolutions because it usually takes me about 3 days to break them.

But this year was different.
I knew that 2010 was going to be a year of changes for me and my family.
A year of big plans.
A year of goals waiting to be achieved.

So when the New Year rolled along, I made a mental list of the things I needed to accomplish...
(I was very careful: never called them Resolutions!)...
and started working very hard at them.
Last Friday, I did something that I never thought possible: I registered for a College Class.


My Graphic Design class starts in July and at the end of 8 weeks, I should be able to move it from my To Do List to my Accomplished List
You see? Even though I went to College, I studied and I graduated, I never liked school.

To fill out the Registration Form was a big step for me and the thought of being in a class full of 20 Year-Olds, a little intimidating, but I'm going for it!
If you think about it, going back at almost 50 has a good side:
at least now I won't spend 3 hours every morning thinking what to wear to school like I did 30 years ago and that alone, it's pretty liberating...
Hey, there are good things about being "vintage"!...LOL!!!

Now put the foundations under them"
