I'm putting forth more effort to have new people in my life. I rode mountain bikes the other day with a friend that I haven't seen in a good while. And I met three of her friends who I'll probably ride some with later on. I run across lots of people in my work too, and I'm putting forth more effort to be outgoing and happy...and compassionate.
I realize how important it is to have new people in my life. Don't know about a class though?
I'll start riding with a bicycle group once the weather improves.
I'm enjoying getting back in really good shape. I'm 50. I'm back to riding regularly, and going to the gym too. And I'm eating more healthy too. Mountain biking is new to me but I'm really liking it. I did 25 miles in the woods a couple of days ago. I really enjoy road riding though...going long distances. I'm not a drinker. I'll have a beer with friends occasionally, or a glass of Cafe Zinfandel...but that's about it.
It feels good to be able to wear clothes that I haven't been able to wear in a long time. If and when the time comes, I'll ask them (daughters)on down the line for clothing advice. I do wear cologne.
I'm putting forth more effort to have fewer words and more positive actions. I'm putting forth effort to create moments of love with my son.

Leaving a legacy of redemption and forgiveness and perseverance for my children would be a great thing for me. I can't think of a better thing for me to do under the circumstances. I intend to do it. I've started already.

Yesterday while at work, I went into the chapel and asked God to help me forgive my exW for the pain that she's caused me. And then I said the words "I forgive exW for the pain that she's caused me". And I meant it when I said it.

What do you think about my proposed plans for my daughters that I meantioned in my other post?
