New Year's Resolution #8—in which I detail my renewed attempts at organizing my life—notwithstanding, my dear friend, whose birthday it is today, knows well that it will be a long time before I am half as organized as she was 30 years ago, if not from birth.
Thus it will be a disappointment, perhaps, but no surprise, that my new scheme is not well enough in place for a real, physical birthday card to be arriving at her lovely home in today's mail. There's hope for next year, but in the meantime, since she is a Faithful Reader and can be counted on to see this post, if not on the day, at least close to it, I offer this substitute:
Happy Birthday, my friend!
You have been an organizational inspiration to me ever since you taught me that laziness is the best motivator. (And yes, it is easier to have the spices in alphabetical order!)
Thank you for your greeting and good birthday wishes, and I am happy to receive them in any format. Yes, it is indeed laziness that causes my organization - I don't like to waste time looking for things. And yes, it must be in the genes - my parents have it worse than I! I am grateful for your friendship; you continue to inspire me - bless you. Faithful Reader/ Long-time Friend
