New Year's Resolutions and the Decline of Western Civilization

Another year has ended, another year has begun. What 2006 holds only God and "they" can say. Another round of resolutions, made, broken, re-made, and then finally discarded LOL. I myself don't subscribe to the resolution making process, I think it puts too much pressure on a single date to do something. If you really want to quit something, a "line in the sand" isn't the best way. That being said, New Year's Eve 1999 was the year I finally quit smoking (Yeah Me!!).

Spent a quiet New Year's at home with my kids. We watched Toy Story 2 and waited for the turning of the clock. New Year's Day we went for a long, refreshing hike up Caleb Pike. Also went up to Lone Tree Hill on a night hike the other night. The view of the city at night from the summit was well worth the stumble up the side of the mountain in the dark. Amazing light show!!!

So, this year I resolve to have more resolve LOL. To update my blog in a regular fashion LOL. To finish reading the half dozen books I've got open and lying around my house LOL. To treat everyone I meet with the respect and compassion that could make a difference in their day. To love my fellow humans.

See you when I see you.
