New year, new challenges

// January 3rd, 2010 // No Comments » // Blogging, Cycling, Health

Dropping off the tree for recycling today was the realization that Christmas and the holidays are over and the beginning of a new year is upon us. The worst thing about the holidays is that it seems that so many are so consumed with finding an purchasing the perfect gift that few take the time to savor the what’s really important. By the time they do, they’re back to the same old grind wondering where the break has gone. I’ve been guilty of doing this very thing myself in the past.

The holidays were pretty low-key for Meg and I but it was very enjoyable because of it. We had little obligation and much down time. We spent time together but also got to have our moments of alone time. Overall, I think that neither one of us would have changed a thing.

Of course part of the changing of the year is a chance for renewal. I’ve vowed to workout more (as countless others have also done). I’m in the process of paying for a new road bike to help with this process. I’ve also taken upon the responsibility of updating this blog weekly as part of Project 52, for which I have Christina Warren to thank for my introduction to the project. I would say that I will try to follow through with my contributions to this project but — with the words of a 900yr old Muppet echoing in my head — I will do, not do not.

Wish me luck.
