Obligatory New Year’s Day Post

Not much going on here.  Just thought that I would drop a post to kick off 2008.

I don’t have much in the way of resolutions (other than to lose the gut that I’ve acquired) just a general sense of gratefulness. Grateful for surviving another year, grateful for the love of a wonderful woman, grateful for two beautiful daughters . . . basically, insert my Christmas post here. Or, just go back and read it.

Talking with the Elder Extroverted Holy One last night after the ball drop I was thinking out loud.  I figure Thanksgiving day would be more appropriate at the end of the year, during which a person looks back at the prior year (for better or worse) and looks ahead to the year to come.  I think that’s when one would be thankful and should celebrate with a big, fat meal to ring in the new year. At least, that’s the feeling I had last night as I looked over at my beautiful bride holding our second child as the Young Extroverted One slept in her bed (for the moment) . . . thankfulness.

New Year Blankness

I’ve been reading all these blogs with New Year’s resolutions listed and some blogs wonderfully written on the newness of a new year. Me? I got nothing. It’s not that I don’t want to write something cool for the new year it’s just that I’m drawing a complete blank on what to write about.

I guess I could write a little bit about how I have found a comfortable spot with my interim rigging supervisor position. But then again, that won’t last because the real one comes back on the 8th.

I could write about the wonderful Christmas expressions of joy that the Young Extroverted One gave during the holiday. How she got the stuffed leopard that she wanted from Santa and a really cool bicycle from mom and dad.

All of these are good things to write about but my creativity for the new year is null. Probably because I’ve been working so much and now things are a little calm at work. Now, I can sit back and reflect. Maybe this has turned out to be a list of things for me to write about when I get the chance/inspiration. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Whew, I feel better now.
