After some great family time where we all got together at Shelby's for Christmas, we spent a few more days with Sherilee and Alan at Cannon Beach.
It was there that I saw a book that Sherilee bought for Seth called, "Every Monday Matters." It was full of lots of ways that we can make a difference in our lives and those around us. The timing could not have been better! Later I found out they had a website that was just like the book.
The very first Monday exercise for the new year is to make a list of "What Matters Most."
So after some reflection, and a few minutes catching today's spectacular sunset, I scratched out my list... not necessarily in order of importance.
- my sweetheart
- my family
- my health
- my business
- my computer (new MacBook Pro)
- my artistic pursuits
- my iPhone
- our home (and future improvements)
- my kindle (and other reading)
- my friends
- faith and hope
- travel
- golf
- my tractor
This is the first year in a long time when I haven't written out my New Year's resolutions. Instead I am making a list of some activities and projects that I hope to see accomplished this year.

Question for Thought: What are the things that matter most to you?
