Does anyone else get the compulsion to clean and clear things out in January? For me it is all about fresh starts and new plans and goals and getting organized. I know it is really just an illusion, after all one day is as good as the next but ......there is just something about January! A lull in the year, the holidays are over and the weather is unfriendly,  gives us time to ramp up for the Spring and Summer.  I have plans for updating this bloggy spot, getting new paintings done, putting better organizational systems to work, continuing my new way of eating( plant based, no added oil),etc,etc... I even have a shiny new notebook to capture my brilliant ideas!So let's get started !Also... if you are interested in participating, on my birthday, I am going to post links to favourite blog posts you have written and want to share with my readers.Email me here: duffettfolkart AT yahoo.ca...
