 Ladies, and gentlemen, the New Year is upon us. You are probably watching this on New Year's Eve. Let's just call it as it is. And guess what? Maybe you have not taken the opportunity, the chance to think about what am I going to do to be a better person in the New Year in 2018. It's a great opportunity. I didn't always make New Year's resolutions. I've started that tradition in the last couple of years and believe it or not, it's actually helped me to think, to stop, reflect about the last, remember I love looking to the past in order to prepare for the future and look back at the last 365 days in my life on this earth and think, wait a minute, how could I be a better person in the next 365 days? A more virtuous, there's a word, virtuous person in the next 365 days. Listen, I've got a lot of work to do before I feel like I am approaching the mantle of virtue on this earth as a human being. So I have some thoughts here to share with you to help keep me accountable here on the YouTube and also maybe hopefully inspire you in there, in there to maybe consider, maybe consider what you can do in the next year, 2018 to be a more, and this is the tip of the day for starting your New Year, write your New Year's resolution down, tear it out and tape it on your mirror in your bathroom or on your refrigerator so you don't forget. So in no particular order, broken down into four categories for 2018. The vlog, family, running and personally. All right, for the vlog, I want to be more transparent with you. That's right. I want to share more of my story with you. Fair. I'm just going to leave it at that and let it play its course in the next 365 days. Transparency might be a really important word for the next year, all right? Move the vlog's focus, the lens, the focus through which I communicate to you on this VLOG. Okay? I'll just leave it at that. Number three, under the vlog, meet some of you in person. How cool would it be to meet some of you out there that are commenting on a regular basis, especially down in the comments, you know, I love your comments. If we could meet for a pizza, meet for a coffee, whether you're in Denver or outside of Denver, let's make it happen. Number two, family. It's one thing, lead better, lead L-E-A-D as a father and husband. Capiche? Capiche? I want to lead better. There's a lot of issues within our culture. I believe most of those issues go directly back to the fact that we do not have fathers present in so many children's lives. I know that's a tough topic. I'm going to leave it at that, but that is one of my goals for 2018. Lead better, lead better as a father and husband. Number three, running. I want to win a race. Maybe I'm a little bitter after the race in Highlands Ranch where they didn't mark the course. Yes, I'm a little bitter. I want to win a race in 2018. I want to complete Nolan's 14 or run another long race. Fair? Number three, I want to start a local running group. Okay? Number four, whoa, it's a little crazy. I want to run 400,000 vertical feet. Number four for running. Okay. And lastly, personally for the goals for 2018, my new year's resolutions, I want to be healthier. And so there's different ways to go about being healthier physically, mentally. But one of the ways I'm not, this is crazy, I'm not going to drink any beer in 2018. No beer. So if I'm at a party, if I'm at a bar, I'm going to have, if somebody wants to buy me a beer or if I'm camping up in the mountains, somebody offers me a beer, I'm going to say, where's your wine? I will still drink some wine occasionally, drink a little bourbon, you know, I like my bourbon, but I'm going to give up beer completely in 2018. I want to be healthier and I think that's one way to do it. Capiche? Number two, I want to be more intentional with friendships, especially some friendships from yesteryear, meaning college and high school, old friendships where, you know, you know how it is, you lose touch with your friends from yesteryear from previous, you know, decades in your life and you're like, wait a minute, I love that person. I want to get to know that person better in the present day. That's goal number two under personally. And then number three, which has always been a struggle for me, I want to trust more in the bigger picture, in divine providence. I want to trust more in 2018. That is my last goal for communicating to you on this YouTube channel. So, all right, that's it. Thank you for listening for three, the last 365 blogs. Holy smokes. Isn't that crazy to think about? But once again, question of the day, what are your New Year's resolutions? How do you want to be better in the New Year? And you know, it's at the stroke of midnight, it's going to happen. So I'm excited to seek beauty, work hard, love others in the New Year. And I hope you are as well. Thanks for coming along this journey and see you next year.
