Monday, January 3. Is anybody else having a difficult time focusing? I imagine you are, too, and I pity (and envy) those of you in corporate America who are sitting through post-break meetings with visions of Christmas trees, parties, skiing trips, late mornings snuggled in flannel and all the rest of the nice things from the holidays still fresh in your feverish minds.

A quick word about New Year’s resolutions: they usually don’t work. At least for me, with one very major exception.

Instead, I think it makes more sense to keep working on those things in life you wanted to change, where you had already made a decent start and were beginning to get some traction.

You get to a certain point in life and it’s pretty much the same stuff year after year – yeah, we’d like to exercise more or differently, we’d like to lose a few pounds, we’d like to finally get that right employment or better our economic circumstances.

For me, today, a couple things come to mind that I’d like more of: fresh, local food, and stretching.

Farmers Market

After reading much of Michael Pollan, I’ve seen the benefits of buying fresh, organic, locally grown produce. I started by going to the Hollywood and Los Feliz farmers markets in LA, and continued with our local versions in Palm Springs after I moved here. One of the local farms I usually buy from is Sage Mountain Farm in Aguanga, CA.

Since I get stuff in season only, it’s a challenge to figure out how to eat it or cook it. So, my facility in culinary skill also benefits from farmers market shopping. I mean, really, how does it make sense to buy and apple or grapes from Chile or New Zealand when they’re grown on a mountainside I can see from my back yard (thank you, S. “The Quitter” Palin).

Stretching

all wrapped up (not me)

More precisely, yoga. I’ve made a number of forays into the world of yoga over the years, and am just currently waiting for a shoulder impingement syndrome to either end or be intervened on before I start back. Also, a New Year’s plug for Yummy Yoga in L.A. I started going there because I could walk from my place there, always a plus. But I loved their classes and teachers. It’s also owned by an insanely beautiful Irishwoman by the name of Ducky Punch.
