We made it to 2021! I am sure many thought that was never going to happen. Good thing the clock didn’t just keep on ticking into 2020 and it did as it does every December 31st. Now the hard work of 2021 begins. It’s going to take a lot for everyone to do their part so that we as a planet can get back to what can possibly be considered a normal timeline.

So what is in store for me here at St. Louis Dad? Well, I heard a rumor that if you want something to happen writing down your goals helps create a vision in your mind of how you want to be in the future. You can visually see the goal and understand the difference it will make in your life. With something clearly in focus it creates change in how we act as we have clarity and direction.

Therefore here are my goals for 2021.

Write and sharing more. I need to get these thoughts out of my head, and I figure the best way to do that is by writing.

Exercise! 2020 messed up my routine of going to the gym, and while I have not had a soda in 188 days, my body really hasn’t dropped the weight from when I was pounding down 60 ounces of Mountain Dew a day.

Hiking and camping. Our little family had a blast on all of our hikes and camping trips over the last few years. Making more memories like these are exactly the kinds of goals I want for 2021.

I am sure there are more goals that will pop up through-out the year but for now, I think it’s best to stick with just a couple goals to start with. I don’t want to over commit myself and then not do anything. That would be just silly.

So here’s to 2021. I wish for everyone to have a safe and healthy year. Be smart and be kind.

I'm a 40-year-old father blessed with two wonderful children: a 13-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son. My life revolves around my beautiful wife, who is the cornerstone of our family. Without her unwavering support, none of what I do would be possible. By day, I serve as a network administrator for a local school district, ensuring smooth operations in the realm of technology. During the evenings, you'll often find me engrossed in various creative pursuits, from illustrating books to crafting websites or composing music. But above all, my priority is spending quality time with my kids. Parenthood has been a profound journey of growth and discovery for me, and now, armed with a keyboard instead of a pen, I'm eager to share my experiences and insights with others.
