Happy New Year

So on our way back from hiking today I started thinking that I'm probably supposed to be reflecting on the past year and starting to think about what I want from 2008. But, the truth is I'm not really in a contemplative mood...fresh air sucks it all out of me. I've never been one for resolutions, thinking it's kind of silly to wait until the beginning of a year to make changes if you know you need to make them. Sure, I could say that I want to start exercising in a regular sort of way or I could say that I want to lose 20 pounds or be a better person or whatever else it is that people resolve each year. But, instead, I'm just gonna say that I thought 2007 was going to be a hard, long year. And, you know what? It wasn't. Maybe I shouldn't reveal that despite the rough patches it was one of the best years I've had in a long time. Maybe it was all the backyard camping, margaritas, late nights, blogging, taking charge of the entire householdness of it all. Whatever it was, it was better than I could've hoped and my only wish is that 2008 be just as good. Aliens and all...
