I am going to apologize ahead of time, because this post will be a bit negative..........
Things I don't like about winter:
I don't like being cold. I don't like feeding the horses or going to the barn in the cold, or dark. I don't like when it is dark so early. I don't like scraping ice off the cars, the decks or anything else. I don't like breaking ice out of the water buckets or the water trough (did I spell that correctly??).
I realize the four seasons are needed, but the fact remains that I just don't like winter. The only time winter is just a little bit enjoyable is when you can seld in the snow. And when you do have snow it can be very pretty. But snow is like a double edge sword.....it can be very dangerous too. I do not trust other drivers in the snow, and especially not in the ice. Most people in this part of the country do not know how to drive on the stuff and don't care to learn. So the consequence is tons of wrecks, people in ditches, tons of people stranded on the side of the road and taking forever to get just a few miles down the road.
Now that I have that off my chest.....
I am very grateful for:
The ability to work from home in bad weather, a warm house and people who have to get out in the bad weather and will check on me to see if I need anything. There is no replacement for true friends.

New Year and Resolutions
It is another new year. My wish for everyone is that they had a wonderful holiday season and a safe new year.
I don't make resolutions, I really can't remember a time when I did make any. I believe that most people that do make them, don't stick to them. If you do make them, I hope that you do stick to them. If you do stick to ones you make, I am impressed. The reason I don't make them because I believe if you want to change something about you or your life, you can do that at anytime, you don't have to wait for a new year or start it at the new year. If you want to make a change just do it, like Nike says.
I have made changes over my life, hopefully most of them have been for the better. There are many things that I know I need to change about myself. I try my best to work on those things on a daliy basis. The changes that I continue to work on are probably very similar to almost everyone else, they are eating better, being a better person to my family, friends and co-workers, being a better Christian, and having more patience. Sometimes I fail at these, but I do try. I pray about things more now than I have in the past. I believe that prayer changes things, and I believe that God will always be there for us and show us where we need to change. Some other things I would like to change about myself that aren't as personal, are taking more pictures and creating photo books of those, cooking more (maybe I should just say cooking since I don't do much now), adding an exercise routine to my daily life, and taking better care of my farm. These are things that I get enjoyment out of, but just don't do.
