best man

my best friend asked me to be his best man. i am honored and thankful. colorado. tubing. haunted housing. concerts. costumes. storm watchin. camping. tornado chasing. worshipping. bonfires. working security. hiking. jeeping. cruising. serving. the list is endless. i could go on. and on. we've had many good times, and i pray we will have many more. today has been slow. the weather is chilly. it's early january... the calm before the storm. things will pick up here quickly. the past week has been nice. a new year found me a reason to celebrate. i caught up with an old friend who shared his love for his bride to be. made a child laugh. and found warmth in the hand of a beautiful woman. i count myself blessed. i've never been one for resolutions... they seem to be promises that are very quickly forgotten. so i won't call them 'resolutions'. i'll call them 'plans'. this coming year, i plan to take more walks through the woods, lose more weight, take more road trips, be 'inconvenienced' every once and a while. keep my life and what i have in perspective. be kind to the cat. be prepared for the mountain and the mini. drink more water. be better than i was a year ago. love anything more. grow closer to God. make someone's day special and bet on red.
