OK...let's try something new. It's the new year...out with the old Mike and in with, not a new Mike, but the same one...just a little bit smarter.. If you don't know, last year was an OK year...except for the last two months. The year started off good. I had a full time job with the Air Guard, I had a wife that loved me and two beautiful kids. Then we took an arduous, but fun, trip from Alaska all the way down to Texas. Things were OK until November. That's when the bomb was dropped on me. I found out that my wife of almost 5 years is in love with someone else and that they are planning their life together after me. So...2009 did not end on a good note.
So, out with the old Mike and in with, not a new Mike, but the same one. Hopefully smarter though that's for sure. The upgraded version of me is definitely going to be a lot more guarded...sorry ladies. I think I will follow my head a lot more. It's always good to follow your heart but my cousin said to let me head win once in a while. Good advice. I also plan on being more driven. The old Mike was driven but he happened to let things come to him more often. I've several goals for myself once I get back to Alaska. Check back often to see if I've met those goals.
1. Get a J-O-B!
1a. Get my own set of wheels.
1b. Get out on my own again.
2. Get into MMA...not because I've got some anger issues or anything but it'll help me get fit and it will help with focusing...I hope.
3. Rugby??? I played rugby in college. I might see about playing with the local club here...not sure on this one yet though.
So, these are my goals for 2010. Hopefully I can meet all of them...scratch that. I am going to meet all of them.
Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteMike,
ReplyDelete1. Welcome to blogging! I've been doing it since 2005 and I love it. I should be doing it more often, maybe that'll be a resolution for me.
2. Good on you for coming up with some goals. You need something to focus on to help you get through the next several months. Actually, your goals will push you beyond the point when you feel "normal" again.
3. Having goals is one thing, having a plan to accomplish those goals, though, is the key. If you haven't already, I recommend you sit down and plan out the steps and a timeline to achieve your goals. Don't just leave them to chance, make them happen! I hope I can apply this same advice to my own goals! Ha!
4. Good luck. You deserve it. If you need anything, Karen and I are willing to help!
That profile didn't put my name... it's your BIL, Tom. Sheesh.
