Top of the New Year to you! Hope yours has started off well. I started my new year in October!
I didn’t want to be one of the hundreds of people cramming the gym on January 2nd so I started my new year workouts in October. It’s really been great. It’s amazing how many people I see at the gym who say, “I haven’t seen you here before!” to which I respond, “That’s because it’s hard to see who is working out from the strategic vantage point of your couch! I’ve been here since OCTOBER!”
I love a fresh start. I love Monday’s, mornings, a new Word document, a new tune, a new vocabulary word, a new shirt, a clean T-shirt, and January 1st. Not only is it my anniversary, but it’s the symbol of a new start.
I have some big things planned for ’07 – new church ventures explored, Kingdom territory expanded, fitness habits firmly in place for an entire year of my life, compete in my second triathlon, spend a week on a secluded Caribbean island with my wife, possibly retire (well, probably not really), help start another church, visit Africa again, learn to cook great food with my wok.
So the forecast for 2007 is promising. I can’t wait to enjoy it, live it, engage it. I know it will be filled with challenges, pain, joy, celebration, and growth. So I embrace it – bring it!
Oh yea, another of my new year’s revolutions is to blog! Be happy, later.
