Ushering in 2011

So here it goes, the top 10 of 2010.

3. Visited Bishop for the first time
4. Successfully hatched chickens (mostly)
5. Spent Christmas at an indoor water park with the family
6. Spent lots of time with old and new friends
7. Read the Twilight series in 4 days
8. Bought a new road bike
9. Witnessed the slaughtering of a calf
10. Visited the biggest aquarium and the biggest climbing gym in the country, both in Atlanta.

And the 11 resolutions of 2011. I plan to check these next year, so hold me to them!
1. European climbing trip, a must
2. Another 5.14
3. Break my bouldering plateau
4. Train (at least occasionally) for climbing

    “The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.” Charles R. Swindoll

    Make the most of the year 2011 and take care,
