Resolution

Resolution: the act of resolving or determining upon an action or course of action, method, procedure, etc.

I don’t usually make New Year’s Resolutions. Everyone states the same obvious goals and most fall short of the finish line. This year, however, I decided to make one resolution – to start living, really living. Some days I feel as if I am drifting through my life. Not that I am not grateful for what I have, after all, I realize I have more than a lot of people ever will. I just feel that life is passing by more quickly than I can grasp it, feel it, experience it. I have a good job, great friends, a loving family, a nice house, a nice car, but I am missing something.

Passion! So whether it is a new place to live, a trip to someplace new, a new job, more school, or something I haven’t even thought of yet – I think this year needs to be the year I find something I am passionate about and live!!

So maybe I will go to the gym more, eat better, clean more often, not get upset at the small things, pay off debt, or any one of the many things we all mean to do, but hopefully I will see more and experience life and all it has to offer.

What will you do?

2008 is here!

The trip to grandma's was fun. It was good to see the entire family at once (well minus one uncle). I still can't believe how old the grandkids are getting! We even took the obligatory stairstep picture.

My flight home was late and I seemed to catch Aunt J's sickness, but I am feeling much better. New Year's was full of friends and game playing here at my house. I watched the dawgs play in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day and then back to work!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from me & little S.

My tree was up and decorated with 26 years of ornaments (well minus one that seems to have disappeared...). My house was quiet, however, so I joined my second family to share in Christmas Eve festivities and a large, delicious family meal today. Now I must pack and head to grandma's.

I was recently appointed to a council for service and parts for the brand. Mainly that means more work, but it is quite an honor as only four warranty people were chosen from all the dealers in the country. I participated in my first web conference call today. Not real exciting, but pretty interesting. Participants can raise their hand, applaud, and even laugh - not that there was much occasion for laughing. I also have to submit a picture for the council so I hope I look semi-professional...

What's next?

BS in Psychology

Cum Laude

Thanks to the many people who have helped support and encourage me through this long process (very long process). Now if anyone has the answer to the big question...
