to the new year

It is amazing how the prospect of a new year effects me these days. In years past I don't think I really gave the coming year much thought but it seems as if that has now changed. In the weeks leading up to the new year I found myself becoming introspective about goals and desires for the coming months and I was pleased with what I came up with. The goals are broad but I like that. I feel that this year needs to start off slow. I need to be intentional and not take on more than I feel comfortable with. Last year was amazing but in looking back on it I realize that it came in like a lion and and went out like a lamb. I enjoyed the momentum that I had at the start of the year but I am looking forward to having a more balanced approach to things.

In the coming year I hope to focus on these four things.
family
self
health
home
I am eager to see how this plays out. The idea of starting fresh with new goals is exciting and I look forward to an amazing year.

Best wishes to all of you in 2008.
