I have decided to "blog" this year. Not because I think my views need to be heard or because I think I am important. No, I am blogging for me. I want to chronicle the year's events and have something to look back on at the end of 2011 and see just how far I, and those around me, can go.
The last few years have been very interesting, challenging, and life-changing. I often reflect on what has happened and wish that I would have written about my "adventures".
So feel free to join me daily, weekly, or just occasionally to join me in my journey throughout the year.
Happy New Year!
Jeff
