New Year!

I realize it is a New Year and everyone has plans to do something as a routine like working out five days a way, or lose 10 pounds. Realistically this sort of goal may only last a few weeks before you break habit.
If you really want to achieve goals why don't people set themselves little stepping stones to set themselves up for success for the long run? For instance, you want to lose 10 pounds? Create small steps to achieve this goal. For example, you can urge yourself to cut back from eating fast food 1 time a week instead of 3. Or, jog for 20 minutes 3 times a week. These small daily activities and habits might just get you to where you want to be a few months down the road. WHY DO PEOPLE WANT INSTANT RESULTS? Instant results teach you nothing! and in most cases, you end up reverting back to your old habits anyway; or in extreme cases, make you worse off.

That is all I have to say about the New Year resolution stuff...

Updates:

Angela and I have been doing great. We are trucking along, working and enjoying each other's company. Angela recently had a birthday on the 5th. We had a nice time at Benihana's together and got a great picture there; soon to be posted later!

For myself, I have been working at Xenium and loving it. I am very happy with my position and feel like I can be a huge contributor in the future.
I have also been reading at a steady pace. Currently I have been reading a book called "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. It was written in the 1930's and might be one of the most content rich books I have ever read. I am learned so much in it that can apply to my daily life. I urge everyone to read it!



I think that is enough for this post. More to come later :-)
