We got a pass on Christmas shopping this year because we're buying a house. Anytime we can spend with family with be the best gift we can give or receive. Wishing you all the best in the new year.

I always get the urge to start planning and goal setting in mid December, so like you I'm hoping to get my mojo back in the New Year.<br />I've also finished my Christmas shopping, and most of my wrapping. I want it all out of the way early this year so I could relax in December for once.

I wish I could get on and stick to a lower sugar diet, but I'm a stress eater and these days have been plenty stressful. I don't know if I'll attempt to seriously write any time soon. I'm just letting my kids' schoolwork take over my brain, but hopefully, that's worth it to help them through this crazy year.Tamara Narayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16343966432075424106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203719610395611719.post-40518487575131640632020-12-05T00:42:02.570-05:002020-12-05T00:42:02.570-05:00Congratulations on your weight loss!

That's how I've felt. No follow through. The lockdown, not seeing my kids and g'kids has left me bereft. I know it's for my own (and my husband's) good, but it hurts. I pray that 2021 will be better.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203719610395611719.post-91941114564929196802020-12-03T21:09:29.419-05:002020-12-03T21:09:29.419-05:00Congrats on your successes!

B...I haven't been writing much for a while too. But I found that when I must write, when I'm under a deadline, I do. That's why several years ago, I joined the blog hop WEP. Every two month, we write a flash story on a theme and publish it on our blogs. So I have to write at least 6 flash fiction stories a year for the WEP. Even if I don't write anything else during that year, these stories keep me in the groove. And the feedback of the other WEP members is always welcome.

It's been hard to keep to an exercise routine, and my body is feeling it. Maybe 2021 will see us turned around on this shut down. We can only hope.
