So I've got one person saying the OLD profile should be much more detail and say more of who I'm am and one saying not to change a thing other than removing the end. Such is the nature of opinions on such things. I actually at one time had a lot more detail as to what I wanted, who I was, what I enjoyed, etc. I had multiple people suggest I NOT include those things, that they were far better to be things to discuss when you meet. I was told that the goal was to find potential interesting people and the details came later as part of the process. I tend to agree.
Was hoping since many people asked me to post the profile more than two would comment. I do tend to write a lot so many of you may still be trying to read it all.
As for a mission statement, I very much had my life planned out. Sadly life had another plan. For as long as I can remember my plan was to work really hard, get ahead and retire early to travel and have fun. The plan totally came together and I officially declared semi-retirement 5 years ago at 48. The rest just had not happened as planned.
This week has been the second in recent months of low productivity. I hope I'm not hitting a depression here. That happened in 2008 and it was brutal. To make matters worse, one of my major life accomplishments was building the state association I ran for nearly 20 years into the largest of its type in the USA. Sadly the current board of directors is killing it one piece at a time. Membership is down nearly 25%, staff have quit and the iceberg is clearly ahead. I still contract some services to them and it's truly depressing to see.
On a positive note, had some great interactions this week with the widow 10 hours from me. She shipped two of her three kids back to college this week. Amazing what that does for looking into the future.
Beyond that, not much new to report.
