Not a new year resolution...

What if you could really just call a "do-over" on the past year? Hey, I know some may think, "that would be awesome" while others would say, "that is absurd!" Although there are some things I may have done differently and there were some missed opportunities along the way, I know, at least for me, that I had to experience every one of them to get right here right now. I am not one to acknowledge regret, but if I were to do so, I regret not doing a better job to stay in touch with my family and friends. I have all the technology to do so, but I seem to get side tracked quite a bit. 

Here's a few things I can look back at 2014 with a smile:

My son, Matthew, started high school. My daughter, Rachel, drove to Myrtle Beach this summer for our family visit. Levi Stone Robertson was born. I added Hawaii to my list of states visited. I started taking classes online towards my Bachelors degree. So far, I have an "A" average. 

2015 will be what we make it. I will not put any pressure on myself with a grandiose resolution that would probably look good on paper but would nose dive rapidly in the unforgiving seas. 

I offer this instead:

I will continue to be me. My thirst for better will not stop. I will read more. I will strive to communicate more often with my family and friends. I mean actually communicate, not just "Like" a post on Facebook. I will remind myself daily that each person around me is necessary, even if I don't yet know why. I will work on my patience of others. I hope that my presence brings value and a good excuse to smile to those that I interact with.

Happy New Year to all of my friends and family and anyone else that may read this... I hope all of you make the coming year your greatest! Love and Light!

that's the Brick Way...
