I am as far from ready for Christmas as I have ever been, and my mind is everywhere but where it needs to be.

This time of year has been tough on me for the last two years. I guess I'm starting to keep tabs on myself and my progress (or lack there of).

Last year right around the 1st, I did a little blog on some sort of new year's resolutions. I thought to take up some space, and get my mind ready for next year's list, I should keep you all up to date on my progress:

1. Do what I say I am going to do.
I made major attempts to stick to this resolution. In doing so I realized that it's ok to say I'm not going to, or going to be able to do something. That's just the way the cookie crumbles.

2. Play more guitar.
I played a lot of guitar in 2007, and even purchased my first capo. (I know, really impressive.Oooo, Aaaah.) I learned a few simple songs and chord progressions, so hopefully it will all just snowball from here!

3. Become a better blogger.
Sorry.

4. Budget and save more money.
Uh, no.

5. Get in shape.
Well, I wouldn't say I'm in shape, but I'd say I'm not out of shape. Does that make any sense to you either?

Goodbye hope, hello will.

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.
