a new year

I don't usually make resolutions.  I fail at them.  Horribly.

I am trying to make more committments to myself this year however.   I am committed to becoming healthier.  I am committed to working out at minimum, 3 times a week.  I am committed to continuing to be a non-smoker, non-drinker, non-pepsi-drinker.  Okay, okay.  I miiight have a pepsi every now and again, but it won't become an everyday habit like it was.

I am committed to my children and ensuring their success in school.  I am committed into making sure Illeana gets her butt into gear to start a fall semester of college after she graduates high school.  I am committed to making sure that Gavin follows through with his committments to church and school.  And, I am committed to Kathryn, to help her through this teenage transition she has started. 

I am committed to finishing my book and submitting to publishers.  I am committed to forging new friends and never forgetting the old. 

This is a year of action.
