Starting off the new year...

We are 3 days into this new year.
Has it been a good year so far?

My 2011 has been quite swell.
I set 10 intentions for the year - which are basically modified resolutions.
I certainly won't keep all of them all the time, but I will try.

Pastor world is good. A big week/weekend ahead - but I'm feeling peaceful.
I realized that I have a lot to be thankful for here, and although the schedule is unique and not my ideal, I learn and grow each day. And I get to spend time with a beautiful variety of people, gain priceless life experience, rent a house, and preach - teach - and administer the sacraments. My 2011 attitude will hopefully be one of sincere gratitude and not complaining.

Health world is also good. The platelets are going down a bit each blood test, but they are still holding pretty steady. 95,000 today which is still well above the danger zone. I think the Rituxan is working. I really hope it will continue to work. I really, really, really do. It will just take awhile to even everything out. I will try to share updates when they're relevant.

As we start off this new year, I have the theme of decisiveness on my mind.
I've always wanted to be a person who could quickly and intelligently make good decisions.
In reality, there are some parts of life in which I am highly indecisive. And so I'm asking you for input. Do you have any good decision-making techniques?
Pro and con lists?
Coin flipping?
Straw drawing?
Prayer?

I look forward to your tips. Sincerely.
