Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This isn't exactly news. It's literally freezing cold here. Work is closed. Most folks have had enough sense to stay indoors - well, except for local news reporters that can't refrain from interrupting regular programming. So, if something of national significance has happened, be a good neighbor and let me know.

Resolutions

I am quite aware that it's been 2007 for over a week now. However, I wanted to mull over exactly what I would resolve to do this year. With some thought and consideration, I aim to do the following . . .

1. Be on time to work and, especially, church.
2. Let the past stay in the past and live in the present.
3. Graduate from library school.
4. Travel as much as I can.
5. Keep the friends I have but make new ones.
6. Take better care of myself.
7. Learn html and xml.
   

Can I do it? Only time will tell. Stay tuned . . .

Things I learned in the rest of 2006

So, at the end of May, I posted a list of 50 or so things I had learned in the first part of the year. Here's what I learned in the rest of 2006 . . .

1. I, too, can do binary math.
2. I really must let go and let God.
   
3. As it says in Ecclesiastes, there is a time for everything.
   
4. I am truly blessed.
5. When one feels comfortable around another and trusts another, then one believes it's safe to push the other to the limits because, surely, the other will remain and/or return.
6. Count my blessings, count them one by one . . .
7. With each moment, we have another chance to absolve ourselves.

20. Knowing birthdays, anniversaries, and other important dates comes in handy.
21. Mozilla Firefox & GMail rock!
