I stare at my 'in box' where scads of mails from good friends and family are waiting for a reply
and I sigh
and I think that this is not really the way to start the new year, owing so many a line or two
after all, I replaced the sponges in the kitchen
and threw out books and magazines and other out dated items
to make room for the stash of things to come
so now is the time to sit down
and answer the mails.......
and then again
maybe tomorrow, the first day of the new year is a better start
that is, if I don't have a nasty hang-over
in which case I will just wait another day.
After all, it will be a new year with 365 unused days to fill with chatter and emails.
See...I got around it.
Happy New Year.
