I need a theme to get me to my goals come mid 2011. Something inspiring that will push me to the finish line when it seems like I'm about to lose the race. Something for me to go look at in about 2 months when the doubt birds start calling my name. Something not whiffle ball like "I'm going to lose weight" or "Time to stop biting my finger nails"... those things while good... don't have a lot on the line for me if I fail. Because failure this year is not an option.

First off... Let me start off in saying that for resolutions it probably can't get any better then Katey's resolution for herself this year. That's a powerful resolution that anyone should take a hard look at themselves and apply to oneself, but this isn't about her resolution. That's her person resolution to get her to her personal goals. It's amazing, but not mine, it's hers. I need one just as powerful. So here goes.

My resolution this year is to stop accepting "good enough" as being good enough. To stop getting in my own way and tripping myself up with these stupid choices out of haste. To act on what I have known for some time about finances instead of putting my bills up to the money gods. To be the best husband in the world for the woman of my dreams who deserves it. To run my household and not let my own laziness or the pressures of living on my own run me. To go to school again and get my hospitality degree before it turns into another decade of stand still. Finally to be the man my mother and father always wanted to see me be.

I'm no longer this child. I'm Twenty-fucking-Eight. Time to be a man.
