Between Holidays: Building Momentum for the Grand Finale

Christmas morning 

After a lovely Christmas, we find ourselves bookended by holidays. Yesterday, as we all know, was Christmas day. Tomorrow is the second anniversary of my marriage with Kris. First anniversary actually spent with him.

We have a fun day of returning Christmas gifts (code for buying more stuff!) and a lovely dinner out in DC somewhere.  Maybe some cleaning up and some movie watching.

Alison got me Space Camp! And the parents got us three Jack Ryan movies. The first three of course.

I must admit, this is my favorite part. The stressful buildup to Christmas is over, now the fun. Free time, shopping, planning for the new year, and playing with new Christmas presents. Any good deeds and positive acts help build momentum going into the new year. Why wait for the countdown, I always say. Start now!

I will get a couple more runs in, and a couple more times at the gym. Some reflection on what has been accomplished and what the future holds is still in order. Five more blog posts left in 2011. I will make it happen!
