After 2010, that pretty much sums up how I feel: tired. At least 2010 ended on a good note, including a wonderful Christmas snowfall (3 inches) that stayed on the ground for 4 days before fading at last, as if it never was. Nevertheless, it is time to look forward to 2011. I'm not much into making annual resolutions, but here's a list of things that either will happen, or need to happen in the coming year (in no particular order).
1. I turn 40. Whoopee.
2. I need to lose 20-25 pounds. This is quickly becoming a "have to" now.
3. The completion of my bonus room over the garage. I made a good deal of progress the past couple of weeks, hanging ceiling fans and doing a lot of painting. Just need to follow through, finish, reappraise, and get the PMI out of my monthly house bill.
4. Weathering another dramatic change in church leadership. This time, it's more than a new pastor. Now we're being absorbed by another church altogether, becoming a satellite congregation. It'll be interesting to witness, to be sure.
5. My children continuing to grow up before my eyes.
6. A long overdue getaway with my wife, celebrating anniversaries 15, 16 and 17.
7. A family vacation of some sort - one that doesn't involve a certain Orlando attraction.
8. Carving out time for, dare I say it … golf?
9. Charting out a course for this blog. I always write better when writing with a purpose.
10. Finally, despite #9, spending more time unplugged from the computer, from the phone, and from the TV. There are books to be read, games to be played, household projects to complete, and even exercising to do (see #2). Most of us could stand to spend some more time unplugged. I know I could.
Happy New Year to you and yours, and God bless!
