New Year's Resolution

Well, I decided that for my resolution for the upcoming year was to resurrect the blog. For many years I didn't do anything in the way of a resolution at the turn of the calendar. I think this was mainly because people often set ambitious goals and then break them readily. I've always been a goal oriented person and I see setting an objective but not really working at it as quite a frivolous endeavor. I don't have any issue with people making commitments to improve this or do that differently, in fact I believe strongly in continual growth and personal betterment, but it just seemed that many resolutions are grandiose and therefore unattainable from the outset. 

Yet, for whatever reason, my stance on New Year's resolutions has softened a bit - perhaps its old age - and I've come up with some modest, attainable resolutions the last couple of years. For example, two years ago I decided that I should hold my fork in my left hand and use a knife in my right so that when I eat out at restaurants, I have better eating etiquette. There were many dropped food morsels along the way, but with continued effort I have become relatively adept at eating this way. 

So, for 2015 I resolve to regularly update my blog with the various ongoings of my life. Three of my siblings have blogs and its a useful way to keep tabs on whats going on in there life outside the more conventional means of email and phone calls. Moreover, I was chided by my parents recently for not having update my blog in a long time. (For the record, my last post was a mere 4.5 years ago.) I imagine it will be filled with the joys and frustrations of home projects, musings of my love hate relationship with soccer, as well as news and notes of Natalie and my adventures. I hope you will find it at least mildly entertaining.
