January 1, 2012 marks the seventh anniversary of our little experiment on the "Internets". From the first day I set up this blog back on January 1, 2005 up until the present I have truly enjoyed the journey. My thanks to all the new found friends who love politics and the great state of Texas.
Although this journal was meant to follow my time in the Capitol, in many ways it chronicled my attempt to find greater understanding of the human condition and of myself. For that I am grateful.
Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Although my journey for greater understanding will not end, my time in legislative office will. My fifth term ends on January 8, 2013. On that day, I mark 10 years of public service. In November I made public my reluctant decision not seek re-election to a sixth term in office. On that day I fully expect to turn a chapter in my life.
What the future holds for me or this journal I am not certain. What life, to this point, has taught me is that change is constant. It is the one variable that is predictable and certain. I will embrace the change and look forward to new experiences. God willing, I will try to find a way to make a positive contribution in the remainder of the time He has granted me.
Enjoy your new year. Enjoy your family and friends and may God continue to bless you.
Adios!
