Satan may try to destroy us, but if we can learn, grow and
endure we will rise above all that tries to keep us down. I am not the same person I was 12 months ago.
I did not walk away untarnished, but I did walk away. And for now that is what matters. I have the
ability to start a new chapter in my life. As we close this chapter I want to
say that the year was not wasted.
I don’t know if the below makes up for all that I suffered,
but worth the pain or not I did come out of it with the following.
The good stuff that transpired over the past 12 months:
I finally got to visit the Eiffel Tower, a place I’ve wanted
to visit for over a decade, but too frugal to go. I also got to see: Scotland, London
(Stonehenge), Paris, France (Eiffel Tower), Switzerland, Italy: Venice, Rome, (Colosseum,
Vaticani, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain).
I also got to go to Bali with a little tour group of people
I didn’t know and had an amazing time.
I finally learned to Snowboard, something I’ve been yearned
to do for years, but too frugal to try and too scared I’d get hurt.
This one might sound strange, but I was diagnosed with
Celiac Disease. The good is it explains my anxiety and depression and by just
changing my diet I can be free of them.
This new diet has been a struggle and expensive for all parties
involved, but it’s worth it.
I moved to a little resort, see picture to the left. Sadly I had to part with my
stair stepper due to space, but it’s not so bad. I traded it in for membership
to a resort. I’ve taken up swimming. I’m
not much of a swimmer, but it’s good exercise no matter how good you are at it
and at the same time you feel refreshed and you come out with a great tan.
I predict the next 12 months will be amazing. I’m really pushing myself to do those things
I’ve always wanted to do but too frugal or too scared. One of my girlfriends keeps reminding me that
I need to do these things while I’m still young and able. With that said. I
have come to realize that my biggest regrets in life are of the things I never
did or said. So, here I come world, I’m
ready to conquer…and accomplish.
First up on the agenda is Sky Diving with Dad.
Go to Vegas to see “O” and a Chippendales show, ride in
the gondola at the Venetian and take a really cool picture.
Learn to Surf this summer
Visit Thailand with Julia in Nov.
I’d also like to go on a bike ride in New England. But, I’m afraid
of getting injured and not be able to make it to Thailand in Nov. So I think I’ll
hold this off till 2013. Click here to check it out.
