New Year's resolution, huh? Naw, never really got into that. There's never been one thing that I've felt I need to decide on to do better just because another year has begun. But the beginning of another 365 days does make you reflect on the good and the bad, and automatically I want to include more good, while eliminating more bad. I'd say it's human nature, for the most part. Unless you're Lex Luthor or someshit, and then it would just be the opposite.
As I write this, there are hundreds of Canada geese flying over my house, honking, jocking for a spot closer to the front of the V, pooping... But it's nice. The nature and the life--plus the smell of the first pot of coffee of 2017--make me appreciate. I know, I talk about that word quite a bit. But I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I have a very short window to jot down my current thoughts, as I hear my daughter upstairs singing "Jolene", becoming more and more awake and excited that her cousins are coming to visit today. And my son, who has a full belly of milk and will require incessant burping in just a matter of moments. My fatherly duties will take over before I am able to type all of my thoughts. But that's okay--it more or less sums up my feelings right now. The geese outside, the coffee brewing, the kids getting dressed and ready for their day. I want more of that. More nature and less screen. More real and less virtual. More quality time and less bullshit. I might even smoke some ribs today. Why not? Should round out an appropriate first day. I hear them all coming down the stairs now. Suppose I'd better wrap up and start making some french toast. Should go well with coffee, honking geese outside, a roaring morning fire, and my family. Have a swell year. //re.
