Carol Perkins: Be Shed Of Previous Column: Miss Christmas Happiness By Carol Perkins "I'll be glad to be shed of all this Christmas stuff," Guy declared on the Sunday after Christmas. Then he said, "Wonder where that saying came from?" Some people say, "Get shut of," to mean the same thing. No matter the origin, most of us from "these parts" know the meaning. After we spent several hours getting "shed of" the decorations, I pondered what I might shed in 2025. Shed myself of---shake off---make vanish---replace. Weight is always an issue, so I hope to shed ten pounds as fast as a snake sheds its skin. Another "shake-off" is my use of the phrase, "I have no idea." I will shake off that phrase when asked a question I can't answer. My mother pointed out that habit. Getting shed of the junk drawers, narrowing several down to one, might be possible but not likely. When I want something, I pilfer through several to find what I need. The Gorilla glue is still missing. From pencils to super glue to cards to scissors, no telling what else has been crammed into those junk drawers. Once a year, I organize them, but they never stay that way. I would like to shed the reoccurring dream that I'm teaching again to a room of outlaws who won't listen, jump over desks, and fight. Another dream I want to shake off is the one where I can't get ready to be somewhere important. My clothes won't fit. My shoes are gone. I've dreamed I showed up at school in my housecoat because I couldn't find my clothes. Maybe in 2025, I can shed those dreams and replace them with more pleasant ones, like flying with my arms as wings. In the coming year, I hope to shed all negative thoughts and distance myself from negative people. I better plan to stay at home. One trip to Walmart on Saturday would end that plan.
