Well it has been a busy holiday season. Unfortunately my inept camera skills have left me without any pictures to visually prove my busy times. So instead I will give you a quick synopsis of the last month. I worked more than I wanted to. I traveled many miles in sort periods of time. Visited the North Carolina family, did the family Christmas thing down there. Did not get enough time to see everyone I wanted to while they were in town visiting. Had a huge snow storm and a few follow-up storms that made for some fun wintertime driving, sledding, and other forms of fun. I spent six days without power at the house and now have the opportunity to restock my fridge and freezer. The Hokies won another bowl game and in the process silenced the UT bragging that I have been putting up with for the last five years or so. I’m going to coast on the high of that game till next fall, great win. I had a really fun new year’s eve. Went snowboarding, had the second biggest spill of my long snowboarding career and didn’t break any bones that I know of. And now I am going to bleed out the rest of my vacation days over the next 3 weeks before I loose them, so work will be a little easier. And I think that sums up most of everything I can think of off the top of my head.
Now let’s talk about this new year 2010. I have a feeling this is going to be a great year. I don’t know why, I just have a feeling in the back of my head that it’s going to be a good one. I feel like the last ten years I have just coasted through them and the next ten will be different (hopefully married, maybe a couple of kids, be a homeowner, and traveled to some really neat places). I don’t have any new year’s resolutions. I have never done those, mostly because I make new goals all year long not just only at the beginning of the year. But I do have a new goal that I think I will push for, and that’s to really enjoy life. I think when I have been doing “life” in the past my mind is normally elsewhere, so I’m only half there to enjoy whatever I am doing or experiencing. I’m going to try to change that. I don’t know how going to accomplish this just yet, but that is my most recent goal to fully engage the moment.
Lastly with all this cold weather I have been starting to long for those hot summer days being lazy on the lake or fishing in the river. I certainly have some more winter fun to “fully engage in”, but I can still long for long days, shorts, flip-flops, motorcycles rides, and swimming right?
