Happy New Year! We had a glorious few days to ring it in at our remote cabin near the base of Mt. McKinley. No cell service, no TV; 'twas nice! I recommend getting back to some simplicity that includes just chilling with friends and family like that every once in awhile. Now were back home in civilization (which ironically many Outside would characterize as merely more simplicity in yet another, albeit larger, "remote cabin" with indoor plumbing and electricity at least!). First sight upon our return? A mama moose in the yard keeping watch while we were away.
Now to tackle a snowy bon fire to clean up that wonderful clutter of Christmas and our 20' tree! S'mores for dinner, anyone?! I hope you had great holidays!
I'd publicly announced New Year's Resolutions on Fox the other night, but found out technical difficulties prohibited responses to audio, so the interview didn't jib well. So resolutions shall be repeated here to hold myself accountable in 2014:
1) Eat more meat.
2) Help others make the Federal Government as irrelevant in our lives as possible.
3) Live out Coach John Wooden's "Pyramid of Success", encouraging everyone to do our individual part to live with industriousness, self-discipline and selflessness so we, collectively as a nation, can restore America to her exceptionalism. Certainly don't wait for politicians or cultural icons to do it it's imperative we do our own individual part.
Finally, quite glad to hear the new political year kicked off with Sen. Rand Paul suing the President for violating our rights. With that, I'll add another resolution besides the aforementioned that result in encouraging a growing entitlement-leaning populace to value work ethic and independence, thus being able to live life vibrantly.
Here's #4: Be even more aggressive in calling out media for practicing lapdog laziness. Hey reporters, we know that once Barack Obama got elected you bailed on keeping government accountable; you've been abject failures there. Case in point: Nixon's presidency was over once reporters busted him for allowing his people to spy on political opponents. Today, the Obama Presidency's hallmark is spying (in addition to violating economic and Constitutional liberties), for which you celebrate Barack Obama. Transparently hypocritical, much?
Take a stand, America! You deserve better. Resolve to live life vibrantly by looking to family, faith, and freedom in this new year!
Happy New Year Governor Palin! You are the best; keep up the good fight.
The Happy Warrior!
Happy New Year to All!
It's gonna be a Big One!
HAPPY NEW YEAR SARAH AND GOD BLESS YOU!
Happy New Year to you, Governor Palin, and to our country. Let’s hope next time the election process works out better.
A Toast to those who Wish her Well and those Who Don't can go to Hell.
Happy New Year Sarah and family! Look at that handsome Trigg. Growing up fast.
Read it, and to Sarah we say God Bless You, Right on the mark, and Happy New Year to you.
What a great shot of Trigg. Looks like he’s having the time of his life.
You’re right. Trig is growing up quickly and he’s a handsome boy.
Goes to prove the miracles of love. That boy has been totally loved from his days in her womb. Trig was blessed by God into the right family.
Happy New Year for everyone
Shazam!
Right On! He is the reason I do not tolerate attacks on Sarah' Family at all.
You want to know how a country can march people off to the Gas Chambers? Look at the HATE that came out for that little boy, and no our fellow "Conservatives" are exempt from that either.
Amen!
Amen. I think that, every time I see him. The blessings are reciprocal, no doubt.
Bump.
:D
I like the resolutions.
Happy New Year Governor Palin.
I feel like there are more chapters to the Sarah Palin story, yet to be told. She is akin to Boadicea for tens of millions of people.
