I’m not sure why I keep this site anymore. I do know I want to come back to it and try to use it regularly, but life gets in the way.

It started as a blog for life and for my art. But Daily Art ended years ago when I became a principal, and daily life has been a little busy, and more personal as it is mostly family with my girls and Sam, which isn’t something I want to post about regularly.

So what will I use this for? Here, in 2023. Starting goals for the year are to get back into running and doing some basic strength exercises (mostly pushups). That ended when my second was born and all my free time became taking care of her and general exhaustion. Which has been, totally non-sarcastically, amazing. I love the life I have, and love being a stay at home dad.

Secondary goals is to get my eating back towards some healthy habits. Stress, lack of sleep, and general exhaustion got me onto sweets and crappy eating pretty fierce. And to be honest I’ve been enjoying it. So I’ll track my food intake for the month of January. Again, not the amounts I eat, but rather what I eat, to try and make some better choices.

Beyond those, two admittedly selfish goals, I don’t have much. I’d like to read more, well maybe more books. I have been making my way through audio books and comic books pretty regularly. I read a ton of comics and probably listen to one audio book a month on my phone doing normal things. I’d like to throw one book in there a month as well, if possible. Starting with Benjamin Franklin: An American Life which Sam got me for Christmas and I’ve been enjoying.

Strangely these read like goals anyone would have starting a New Year. But maybe we all just crave the same things.
