JANUARY!!!!

I have a love/hate relationship with January. I hate the dreary middle of winter-ness of it, but I love the fact that it is the start of a new year and time to clean up my life.

This year I plan to get healthier, which includes exercising and losing 20 pounds.

Another goal of mine is to become more educated about our country and get more involved in politics. I want to be able to help this country get to the way the Founders created it. There is far too much wastefulness and far too much campaigning, not enough focus on individual's rights and God's law.

Another reason I like January is for MLK day, which always falls around my birthday. So, I usually get a holiday for doing whatever I want. Happy Birthday me!!!!
