I know, I know, this is a bit late. Anyway, I hope you will bear with me.
Another new year has arrived, and I'm glad 2014 is over and done with. For very personal reasons, 2014 wasn't particularly a good year for me and my family.
Illnesses took center stage, and it was pretty hairy for a good while. Thank God, we managed to pull through and hopefully, the worst is behind us.
Good health is not a guarantee, not with the food we consume, nor the lifestyles we keep. Then there are the things you can't control, like radical weather changes, natural disasters, accidents and other acts of unspoken terror.
It's hard not to take things for granted, and to cherish each day that comes before us, each word you write or draft (that's what I do for a living), or every moment you spend with your wife and children.
Which kinda brings me to my point. My new year resolution.
I've never cared for such promises to myself; can't remember the last time I even made one.
I also said somewhere earlier that I'd probably "wing it" with my resolutions this year, but the truth is, every day is an opportunity for us to do something right. Whatever that may be, whether it is to write better, to hug your kids, to learn to cook. To have the resolve to act. Instead of watching another day, another hour sneak by quietly.
So that's probably my resolution this year - to do something each day. Hopefully, it'd be the right thing to do. Oh yeah, maybe to write more too.
Have a great year ahead, everyone. ;-)
