Don't Let Me Do This Alone!

 I've never been one for New Year's resolutions. Well I can't say "never" because in my younger days I wanted to be on that band wagon but as I aged, I realized there wasn't much to it. It was simply a fun thing to do around the last day of the year and it amounts to not much more than a to-do list for the first couple of weeks of January. I find it amusing also how the so called pundits have a statistical day (January 15th) when most people give up on their New Year's resolutions. 

                  

How do they know?

Is there an office or phone bank where the workers are randomly calling people asking if they are giving up on their resolutions yet?

However in recent years I've set yearly goals and even that has changed with the passing of time as I've altered the terminology from goals to objectives. I might expand on the reasons for this verbiage some other time, but suffice it to say for now, I am presently engineering my objectives for  2024.

For all of my adult life I've not been a smashing success at fulfilling my yearly objectives. Why do I keep trying? Needless to say the alternative to trying is very grim, is it not? Over the past couple of years things have changed a great deal and these shifts I speak of are mainly regarding my professional career which this blog is limited to addressing. 

   I'm on a journey and for the readers of this blog, I welcome you to join me in it's progress, if any.

When I wrote Shut Up & Draw, I wrote in the introduction how Tracy hinted that if I didn't do something profitable with my drawing talents to earn income, she made a thinly veiled threat to have a nice weeny roast for the grandkids using all my drawing implements as fuel for the fire.

I took this threat seriously enough and wrote the a book albeit with modest sales.

                                                           

As the impetus from the energy of Shut Up & Draw has waned, she is revisiting her earlier threat. Therefore, in the spirit of marital harmony and overall good business, (that is earning a living) I renew my pledge to succeed.
