New Year's Blues

- January 9, 2018 -

I have to admit...I'm not a touchy feely guy. If you've been on our list for any length of time, you know I don't mince words, move fast and hate b.s.

So when Cheryl said on New Years Day that she had an exercise we should do, I kind of had an idea where this was headed LOL

I was supposed to imagine what I wanted my ideal life to look like.

Note...she had already thoughtfully answered all the exercise questions so the easy thing would have been to say, "Exactly what you wrote down" and I'm done!

But nope...it doesn't work that way 🙂

So I tried my best to picture my perfect life - here are my answers (and her comments.)

+ I will include living in this city: Pittsburgh is just fine (yes, I know it's cold)

+ I will visit these places: a new golf course (Europe? Are there golf courses there?)

+ I will have these hobbies: golfing and drinking (no way am I taking dancing lessons)

+ I will be at this level of health, fitness and weight: alive (yes, I'm taking this very seriously)

Well, I guess we won't be doing this exercise again next year!

I'm sure I've probably offended you if you enjoy this sort of thing, and I apologize...kinda. I do have a sentimental side somewhere.

Truth be told, I'm more of a numbers guy. A paint-by-numbers dude.

When I find a plan or a blueprint that works, I stick to it until I'm not getting the expected results anymore.

So if the holiday blues are kicking in right about now...

...if those well-meaning resolutions are already busted.
