2007, here I come.

Hello 2007.

2006 sure had it's ups and downs. I have moved, switched jobs, welcomed my daughter Isabella into the world, cried, screamed, laughed and felt about every other emotion possible. I can't say I accomplished exactly what I had hoped this year, but any outcome is progress. Too many people think just because they didn't reach the goal they had originally set that they have failed. I think we only fail when we don't produce a result. So as long as something is happening, even if it's not the best thing, we'll improve.

I told myself that I wouldn't post my new years resolutions, because that way if I didn't follow up, you all wouldn't know. Well, what fun would that be? Here are a few things I want to work on this year, so if you see me slacking smack me upside the head (or a friendly email would do).

MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS (in no specific order)

1. Do what I say I am going to do.
2. Play more guitar.
3. Become a better blogger.
4. Budget and save more money.
5. Get in shape.

I'm sure I could find 100 things to tweak, but starting with five sounds good. Happy 2007.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
