A New Year

As you all know it is a new year... I know... earth shattering news isn't it. With a new year comes many things. New gym memberships to people who have never even worked out. New babies and challenges to some people who should never have had a baby (for obvious reasons that i will not expand on), and of course there is always new years resolutions.

Yes, just like everyone else in the entire world I to have made a new years resolution. I actually put my resolution on steroids and expanded it to a list. I cant help it, if your going to do something you might as well go big right. So... with that being said i am going to let you in on my top secret resolution list so that you may hold me accountable all while thinking that I might be somewhat more crazy than you previously thought. ( I must warn you... if you read this list then i might have to kill you since it is top secret and all)

1] I am going to perform a quiet time everyday! I don't care if I have to skip out on some sleep to do it either! I am going to read my Bible EVERYDAY and spend some amazing time with the big man himself.

2] I am going to eat healthier than I did this past year. I cant lie... I really do like the golden arches somewhat.

3] I am going to start and keep running more than I did last year. I absolutely love to run and its a great way for me to clear my head!

4] I am going to try and practice a minimalist life! Yes... a minimalist is someone who really doesn't have a whole lot of extras, hence the name minimalist. I have been thinking about this for some time now and well, why not give it a try. People always seem to get bogged down with "stuff" in and around their life. I am going to try and help my life and wife out by getting rid of stuff that i really just don't absolutely need. (this one might be a big challenge, but i think that i am up for it)

5] I am going to spend more time with my family! Last year was a busy one. I think that i even got to busy to really even figure out what i enjoy doing. No more will i be that busy! The rest of the world can have all of the stress and participate in that "big race", I'll hand out the water at the aid stations.

6] start and keep up a blog... yep... pretty much what you are reading. stay tuned!


My list doesn't seem that long I know, but I think that there is more too it than meets the eye. This year is a new year and I am going to make a new Brian because of it! Don't worry, I'll try not to freak any of you out or make you feel uncomfortable. I'll even do my best to make you laugh from time to time with a random thought post every now and then. Wish me luck and hold on. Also be careful when opening up overhead storage bins as items may shift during flight!
