new year, new ambitions

2012 has already been a year with changes. It is just the 11th, and I apologize I haven't been present to my readers. We have had some busy days. We had a good friend pass much too early and with his passing, came friends from out of town that stayed with us and we were able to spend a couple of days with them. We also had the arrival of a new baby boy in our family. Congratulations to my brother Mike and wife Brenda!

I have decided on what I feel is a manageable and achievable list of ambitions for this year, and am excited to be working towards some expectations. Here is my list of goals, resolutions or ambitions for this year!
