Even though you now have a bunch of new toys, the day after Christmas comes with a lot of mixed feelings. Jack Jr. even commented with a little sadness that it was all over and "now what?"
Some people are sad. Some people are depressed. Some people are glad it's over because they don't celebrate the holidays or they don't like holidays due to some unfortunate incident in the past. Whatever it is that you are feeling, there are a million others feeling the same way.
We build up the excitement so high that you have to come down from it at some point. My advice to you is look ahead. I don't mean look ahead as in a new years resolution. Those never come true. I mean look ahead to anything that excites you. let me give you MY LOOK AHEAD list and maybe it can help you make yours.
- Playing with all my new video games.
- New Year's Eve with family, games and food
- Football Playoffs / Superbowl
- Thinking up new cooking show ideas for next year.
- Jack Jr going back to school
- Going through the house getting rid of the old and making room for the new.
- Getting my tax return
- Getting my sauces into Walmart
- Making more "F as in Frank" videos with my brother
Everyone needs a look ahead list. We all need something to work toward or to be excited about, even if it's something that is a year away.
So how does the day after Christmas make you feel? How do you handle it? What is on your LOOK AHEAD list.

1) Having this week off to clear my head and set goals for 2013;
2) Forgetting what was probably the most miserable Christmas in my entire life;
3) Developing new skills for new directions;
4) Starting a new Bible reading plan;
5) Refocusing/re-defining my new blogs and more writing;

Exactly how I felt this morning, looking ahead. I don't have a list, but I am believing for better in all circumstances as we move forward.
