Sean Bossinger’s Doings

Yes, I'm quite well aware that I'm more than a tad late, thank you very much.

 and I went through our planners last night (what else is there to do at 10:30 p.m. on January 1), and came up with a plan to better share the housework, and make our home a much more livable space.  We should have done this prior to her starting classes last August, but there's no better time than the present.  After almost 13 years of marriage, you would think we would know what we need to do to keep a clean house, but we really hadn't worked out that part of our lives.  I'm thankful that we finally did.

The holidays are almost over (we celebrate the entire season in some way, shape, or form, all the way to 6 January), and I couldn't be more thankful.  Of the holiday season, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, followed by New Year's Day as a close second.  Christmas, with all its commercialism that is inherent to today, can take a flying leap.  I hate it.  Don't get me wrong - I love playing Santa (literally and figuratively).  I love watching my kids open their gifts.  I love welcoming the sun back, as the days steadily grow longer.  But I really don't like buying, nor do I particularly like receiving, all the stuff that comes with the holiday.  I love most of the gifts we get; but I'd love it if we didn't get them either.  I love to give gifts, too.  My favorite gift to give, (and to receive), is time with family, followed by gifts of charity, if we know what people like to support (we give gifts to places like Heifer or Toys for Tots, in the names of others).  Time with family and friends is easy to give: gift certificates to restaurants, food, etc.  A consumerist I am not.

Anyhow… enough on that rant.

The coming of the new year gives me pause to evaluate where I'm going… to figure out that which is important to me.  To that end, I resolve the following:

1. To become a better student through improving my study habits and relationships with all who play a part in my education (that includes you, my friends).
2. To grow closer to my lovely wife, , in order to better strengthen my relationship with her.
3. To share, daily, with my children how important they are to me, and to show them the right way to live.
4. To be close, through more posts, with you, my friends.
