One Wild Ride

Dec 31, 2014 by Michael Tefft

I know, my last post was titled One Wild Ride. But I couldn’t think of a more apt title for this post. 2014 for me was ‘One Wild Ride.’ I won’t go into details but it was a roller coaster year. Did it end on an overall good note or a bad one? I am still pondering that but my first impression tends towards a good one. I am alive, in reasonable health, have lots of family and friends that I love and love me.

What am I looking forward to for 2015 and do I have any resolutions? First and foremost is a world where bad headlines don’t flood out the good headlines. Is that a foolish thing to hope for? Probably, but I wish for that anyway. On a personal note, I hope to have a place of my own to live in the not too distant future. Along with that would be a wish to hold my first grandchild, but I’m not sure that is going to happen any time soon either.

Resolutions? To be a better person overall. To be of more service to my community. To be a better Christian, to grow in faith and hope. Those are resolutions I think I can make progress towards. I am counting on 2015 to be less of a wild ride. I’m getting too old for all the drama.

I wish you and yours the very best 2015 possible. God bless you all.
