It’s the end of the year. There are a lot of ways to deal with end-of-year blogging.
My plan for this year-end period was to expound on my contributions to Peter Kim’s Social Media Predictions 2009 project. And I still might do that, if time permits.
But the holiday crush is upon us all. I feel as if we are all careening into the New Year, don’t you? Finishing up on work projects (or wondering what could be put-off to January!), wrapping presents, shoveling snow, worrying about the recession, prepping for visits to/from relatives, decorating the house, etc.
In addition to all-of-the-above, the Defren family just got a new pup (pictured) — a 2–year old collie/golden retriever mix from Save-A-Dog, an organization we’ve supported as foster parents for a while. This gal walked in the door as just-another-foster but immediately captured the high ground. Adorable, eh? We’re still working on names … which presents yet another year-end distraction!
So can we agree to take a li’l break from Social Media? Re-connect, re-energize, relax? I might still be inspired to blog before the New Year, but hey, even if I do write something, the posts will still be in your RSS reader in January, so don’t feel the need to check-in until you’re ready.
I hope you have a splendid, worry-free, quiet and fun holiday!
