Well, after 3+ months of bloglessness, I am finally emerging from cyber-hibernation! The main inspiration: the arrival of a new year and a felt need to keep loved ones -- most importantly, a very loved husband and father who is currently working WAY too far away to commute from home -- updated on the state of affairs of the rest of the Mercado family.
The remainder of 2008 was more blogworthy than I could ever imagine, full of birthdays, family outings, and precious moments of parenthood. But to keep this train of thought moving forward, I will save the reminiscing for another day.
It's time to declare my 2009 resolutions... which are probably better-termed as "projects."
1. Invest in eternity2. Get fit3. Stay educated
So there's my list in its simplest form. (I guess I could've added "Simplify life" to that list, too!) Hopefully, I can take these raw goals and come up with a plan to attain them... and make my little world a better place.
"And do this, knowing the time,
that now it is high time to awake out of sleep;
for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed."
--Romans 13:11
