2006 has begun

2006 has begun and I have all these ideas and lofty goals for the year.  There are a few routines I’d like to start: growing in family worship, new traditions to generate artifacts of memories (kid paintings, voice recordings), morning walks etc.  Maybe we’ll get moving a bit more, maybe not.

I have to wonder though – another year and I hear more & more about people “wanting to lose weight”.  What’s the point of that?  Weight is a symptom – not a goal.  Losing weight for the sake of losing weight seems so futile, no wonder people quit.  The goal is messed up, instead of a weight oriented goal such as lose 10lbs – the goal should be outcome based, such as ride my bike to work daily with no discomfort or fit into my old jeans.

Whether I enact any of these goals or not, it will be exciting to live with three little kids and a marvelous wife this year.  The surprises will come from all corners – I can’t wait.
