Good response man. Looks like there is plenty of stuff you like to do. It's too easy to just say go out and do it, so I won't be that simplistic.
Let's face it, we do have excuses...budgets to be concerned about little to no time, did I say budgets to be concerned about?, wondering to ourselves who are we going to do these things with, other chores and things we think we should be doing instead, many if not most activities take a real commitment, budgets to be concerned about, some activities really are major contention points of our marriage, etc. You name it, you can find a reason why you're not as active in it as you'd like to be. But, we have to start somewhere to get our minds off of all this, and re-become the people we want to be.
So I read your list, and I will just pose the following questions to you. No need to respond, I don't want to put that kind of pressure on you or make you feel like this is homework or something. Just think about them to yourself and act on them as you see fit.
1. I know it's January, but, are you PLANNING ahead already to play disc golf and go the beach when it gets warmer, or just THINKING about it?
2. I see you said, maybe some guys at work would LET you go drinking with them. How about turning this around and saying, "Hey (so and so) want to grab a beer Thursday night after work at (wherever you'd like to grab a beer at?)"
3. Your buddy is four hours away. Sounds to me like four hours well spent to GO (important) and say hello. On a close, upcoming weekend. What do you think? Maybe shoot some billiards while you're at it?
4. Batting cage is a great way to let off steam. Would SS17 or D11 go along with you?
5. Concert sounds like a blast on February 5. So when's the next concert?
As always, I wish you well.
