The new year has already ushered in some surprises…the fact that I cheered for Michigan was one (playing against Florida).  I am excited to watch the Buckeyes tonight! Hopefully we do not see the same performance as last year.  Hopefully that is a New Year’s resolution that the team can keep!  Speaking of resolutions, I have a couple including the ever famous attempt to lose some weight.  My goal is to lose 40 lbs. by summer.  This will be difficult!  I love to eat, but my health is more important!  If you see me around feel free to ask me how it is going.  I officially start it in the morning - I thought I would give myself one last “bad meal” tonight during the OSU game.  Also, I want to read and learn more in the upcoming year.  I am stuck on this life long learner thing!  Hopefully you are too!  All else aside, it is my hope that we can all be more encouraging, patient, and loving to those around us.  The whole “Golden Rule” thing works well.  We are all in this life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness gig together, so let’s be cool to each other!  Welcome to 2008…the clock is ticking, so be a better person today!
