Happy New Year

I'm not much of the resolution type. At least, not because of New Year's Day. I tend to make resolutions at significant life season or event changes, but not because of the flip of a calendar date.

Instead, the New Year often allows me to look over the past year and see both it's highs and lows in a quick glance.

Physical High: Completing a Marathon
Physical Low: The day after a Marathon
Emotional High: Jason and Sarah becoming Husband and Wife
Emotional Low: The physical passing of Pappy
Spiritual High: The continued assurance that God is for me
Spiritual Low: The continued assurance I don't live it out properly

Recreational Highlights:
The first 18 holes of golf with Jenny
The ESPN 3 club tour day with my father and brother
Winning a Fantasy Football Championship
Vacationing with Jenny

Like every year of my life, I can quickly point out far more high points than I can low points. Even with some key lowpoints this year, I would be doing a great dis-service to most of the world if I had any argument that this wasn't a great year. I was never without food or shelter. Never without love. Never without family and friends.

Bye 2007.
