Happy New Year everyone. Hope your holidays were pleasant and enjoyable wherever you were during the season. Now that 2009 is here there are several things that I'm going to change in my life and I'd like to run them past you in this forum and welcome your comments or if you wish you may disclose anything that you are going to change in yours. My so called "New Years Resolutions".
1) Weight - I have let my weight get completely out of control. My first weigh-in of the new year resulted in a weight of 329.8. Out"freakin"rageous. I have resolved to getting my eating habits in order first during the first six-months of 2009 and then install a full exercise regimen in the second half of 2009. I will also be golfing with my better half on a weekly basis as soon as the weather cooperates. Nothing like turning a 6,000 yard course into 7,500 yards. The extra mile will surely help.
2) Finances - The combined income between my spouse and me is substantial enough where we should not have to live check-to-check, yet we do and it will stop in 2009. I will be getting a part-time job with an insurance agency in West Bend to help grow their business and increase my income enough where I can erase the bad decisions that resulted in more debt. This debt will be paid off and eliminated from our books during 2009.
3) Attitude - As some of you have indicated (not directly to me) I sometimes have an attitude, in particulary I sometimes act like my father. While I love the man, I have strived not to become him in some aspects of my life and attitude is part of it. I want all of you to not be afraid to talk to me about anything regardless of what it is. In return, I promise I will listen to what you have to say and be objectionable. No judgement, no second-guessing, and no ATTITUDE.
4) Stress - My stress level has been at an all time high during 2008 which has resulted in my being concerned for my health. With the recent loss of a friend at age 45, I have re-evaluated myself and my life and have decided to tackle each and every issue presented me head-on. Instead of placing an issue on the back burner and hoping it goes away (thus creating more stress later), I will deal with everything cooly, calmly, and collectively as it happens.
These are the things I need to change and will change in 2009. What about you? Your feelings about my changes?
Love, Scott
