New Years Resolutions - Nothing New

I've been putting this off, mulling around all the possible New Years Resolutions I could pursue. Honestly, I usually ruminate on my birthday about my previous year. That sometimes makes me a bit of a grouch on my birthday.

There are so many things that I could vow to improve; more exorcise, better diet, loose weight, stop procrastinating. These are all things I think about and work towards on a regular basis.

I have to say, and this is sometimes despite *ME*, that life has been pretty good to me. My blessings include:

• wonderful wife,
  
• great kids,
  
• a stable job that pays well enough to support my family,
  
• a great house in a good area near work and good schools,
• a good church,
• a good Scout Troop,
  
• good friends,
• good co-workers,

If I plan to openly admit to anything that I want to continue to work on it would be to continue removing negativity from my life; both external negative influences (people and activities) and internal negative thoughts and habits.

I hope 2008 treated you as well as it has me, and here's hoping for a wonderful 2009 filled with more blessings that you can count!
