Into The New Year
December 31st, 2009 § Leave a Comment
New Year’s eve is a time to look forward and is also a time to look back. Looking back, it’s been a pretty good year. Here’s some things I accomplished this year:
- I’ve managed to remain married to the love of my life for 22 years
- I’ve tried to be a good dad
- I got to help my mom through her cancer ordeal
- I’m still gainfully employed
- I became part of a great church
- I’m still trying to become a real writer
- I’ve led a pack of rambunctious Cub Scouts without losing any of them in the woods
- I was elected as Master of my lodge by a great group of brothers
- I ran 253.2 miles, cycled 313.4 and walked 342.9
- I’ve read a bunch of great books
- I’ve also eaten good foods, drank good coffees, great beers and even a few outstanding bourbons. I’ve written hundreds of blog posts, Facebook updates and Tweets. I’ve played my bass guitar and listened to great music. I’ve watched a bunch of sunrises and quite a few sunsets.
And I’ve managed to do all this and more while remaining physically healthy, moderately sane and reasonably well behaved.
I’d say this has been a pretty good year.
