The year that my age (71) finally caught up with my body---

----and kicked the shit out of it......

never felt this depressed before, and my body hurt like hell...

well, in doing a little check with an MRI we find that I have
three herniated disc in my back......all this damn medicine
really screws up my scotch drinking...

I am actually looking forward to the surgery just so I can start
feeling better---and go on that 17 day tour through europe in
May of 2006.....(she says I better make it, cause she will really
miss me not being there with her..)

What's jetsetter a reference to? From a comic?

I'd say...this is my year of "Death and Work" oddly still what I would consider a good year though, I've grown a lot. We had a death in the family, and our dog died (within a week). As for work, I've made a lot of progress toward my BA and grad school.

Year of questioning and Redemption.....

Went through a bitter divorce in that she played the "let's get back together.... no let's don't games...", my job that I love tested me, my friends and I tested loyalties, my health was tested, my faith and my recovery were all tested. Paternity and child support for an 11 year old.

And somehow, not sure how I worked my way through them all. First time in my life,I actually didn't run and hide but fought, learned and did what I had to to survive. And I grew.

The benefits: job is doing well and I am being recognized for my work, I am closer now to the friends that stuck by me, I am getting ready to open my own recovery house (if I get my ass in gear to do what I have to to get it.... my friend is offering it to me on a silver platter and I haven't done what I need to to get it done.) I have grown and realize that what I want to do, is what I truly love and for the first time in my life I truly love my job. My faith and recovery have come out stronger and more focussed than ever, and I am beginning to truly enjoy life again. Plus I have an 11 yr. old son I have to meet and share wisdom and growth with now.

Downfalls: not having a woman in my life, being lonely, health is still questionable and I can not quit smoking much as I try.

But overall I have reedemed myself to not just those who questioned what I wanted or who I was, but myself, for I have that focus and growth and strength now.

2005 - Mostly Awesome.

I lost 30 lbs, my wife got back into shape post baby and looks better than she has in 6 years, the baby is fine and about as wonderful a kid as you could ask for personality wise, we met many new friends, and had a hell of a good time for the most part. Hard work and good decisions have payed off and we got to enjoy them for this year.

2006 shall be more interesting, in other words more difficult. I've taken it upon myself to become financially educated and have decided that being comfortable isn't enough, I want the security of being rich, which is going to take me in a direction I've never really looked at before. There will be some confrontation, which may turn ugly, but its been over due. My course will be reset in two months, and only unforseen illness or injury will change that.

Year of change.

I finally joined the Coast Guard. That was only the beginning, Boot camp really helped to boost my confidence. I moved to a different part of California. And now I am trying to get used to military culture.

This year was the year ......of caring for us. Too often people put others first and put up with 'stuff' they hate. We learnt this year that life is too short for that and if you dont like your job, house,spouse or viewpoint......... CHANGE everyone deserves a shot of happiness!

The Bittersweet Year.

Happiness and sadness all twisted into the story of my life. Pretty much every year is like that now that I think about it.

2005 was the year i lost my life to the road.

this job i'm in has kept me from so many things, prevented so many things, caused me alot of greif, and completely changed how i lived my life. that's over. i've started something new, and i'm slowly pulling myself away from the road, so i'm hoping that 2006 is the year i got my life back.

we'll see.

At least you've come to realize and accept it
