Grace,

You always make me smile. I know the direction I am headed, is the map clear or do I know it’s final destination. No, I do not. I am going to continue learning about me and figure out what it is that I need in my life. I have several unanswered questions about myself that I need to figure out before I know exactly where I am headed. I know I am buying a house and moving in the first part of April. Yes, I am very excited and now I can have a garden, paint rooms, make a beautiful room for D12 and hang things on my walls. I will have a garage again and a shed big enough to make a workshop. Those things make me happy and excited. It might not be the big fancy house I had while married but it will be a very nice home for a single dad and his daughter. I haven’t rented in over 18 years and this last year has been hard on a guy that lives for home projects.

Can I tell you what will happen three years down the road? Nope. Can anyone predict where they will be at any given point in the future? I still think about changing several things in my life. I would like to learn how to do things that I have never thought about doing before. I am setting goals for my career, including my five year plan of taking over when my boss retires. I have plenty on my plate and I am not going to dog paddle through life. I am going to swim and lead my life. Does that say I am going to let someone join me down the road? I will know that answer when I feel it’s right for this guy. I still need to get past the if’s in life. They have been hard to deal with at times and sometimes throw me off track. I learn something almost every day about me and life. Do I think I am the man I was 7 years ago? I am a much better version of him at this point.

I am full up this weekend. I am meeting friends tonight for cards. Tomorrow I am fixing one of my old cars, with a buddy in the morning then watching some basketball until 5:00. At 5:00 I was asked if I would cook for our softball teams preseason get together. Then on Sunday I am watching the 500 with another group of friends. I don’t really have many problems GAL!

Enough,

Going through this starts making you look at things with a different outlook on life. Time is your friend. Believe in yourself and stand strong.

I am far from awesome! I like to think of myself as getting a little more seasoned every day.

As soon as I have time I check out your thread!

Thanks for checking out my story.

Don't take life so serious, it's just life!
