I've never been one for making too many promises. One reason being that I'm not as good as I want to be at following through. So, I won't be making official resolutions this year, but I do have some thoughts on where I want the next 12 months to go and how things could positively change in my life. Read on...
TIME
I hope to use my time more wisely. I have done fairly well since Leilani has entered the world, but there's still plenty of room for improvement. One of those areas of improvement is in spending less time watching TV. Admittedly, I spend 95% of my time in front of the tube watching sports, which are hard to give up. But they are not the most important thing to me and can often seem that way based on how I spend my time. I hope to change that.
FOLLOW-THROUGH
I hope to keep my word. That's about it.
WRITING
I like writing. Whether I'm good at it or not is besides the point. I enjoy getting stuff out of my head and onto the page. I need to do that more. Through means like this blog, my prayer journal, sermon prep, sports discourse, or whatever, I just want to write more.
EXERCISE
Okay, the classic. But it's true. I'm in the worst shape of my life. Pretty simple to say that I want, and more importantly, NEED, to get back on the gravy train. There have been lots of excuses this year, as an ATV accident led to almost 4 months of inactivity with a torn meniscus and bummed up back. Last month I feel down the stairs with Leilani and saved her by giving up my ankle. That's still causing me to hobble badly and moan and wince every step. But still, I've been working out the last week, and it's feeling good. Hawaii is in 3 months and I don't want to be mistaken for the great white whale.
LOVE
I desire to show more love. To my wife, my daughter, my family, my friends, and to everyone. Regardless of how I do with this, I always can show more.
WORK
I love my job. It's more a life than a job really. And I love my life. But sometimes, I get bogged down by the meaningless. Or by the negative. I want to enjoy my job/life, and excel at it for God's sake. I hop this year I can do that.
And for now, that's all I got. I'll let you know how things go :)

Ouch.
I don't even get acknowledged as a follower.
I pray that some of those positive changes will take place in your life over the next 12 months, as well as the rest of your years.
:] Blessings for the New Year.
Well I guess that Sarah gets the mention as well :) Thanks for the (speedy) comment. I pray your New Year is wonderful as well and full of many many blessings.
Yo dood.

Okay, Cory and DLC are added to the list of readers too :)
You all make me feel special.
Um, I don't like the wording of the first sentence. It sounds a bit...suspect.
