My thoughts on a New Year

      I have been thinking about starting a blog for a while now, and I figured since we are starting a new year now is as good a time as any.  I don't know that there is anyone out there who is interested in reading about my life, but even if no one reads this blog it will be good for me to write it.  One of the things that got me started this mornign was an idea I heard on K-LOVE.  They suggested that instead of making a New Years resolution people should simply choose one word to focus on for the coming year.  I have chosen the word priority.

There are many things in my life that should have been priorites in 2011 but were not.  God was not my first priority last year.  This year He will be.  My family will be my second priority this year.  No matter how much work I need to get done I will leave work at a decent hour from now on so that I can go home to my family and enjoy my precious time with them.  My health will have to be more of a priority.  Whether I like it or not my life has changed forever and I have to learn to live with it.  I must rest more, find new ways to get exercise, and adopt a new lifestyle when it comes to food.  No matter how much I think it sucks it is now my reality so I need to just suck it up and do it.

Lastly, I will make it a priority to blog.  I think that this will be helpful for me, and hopefully it will help put things in perspective.
