Yes there are things that I have learned and I have grown and overcome this last year. I have done some things well. I have taken good care of myself, my home and my family. I have strengthened my most important friendships and I have formed good new ones. I have committed to personal growth and engaged regularly with sports and new activities.
My health is much better. I am returning to work in stable condition.
In this next year, in contrast to this last one, as many of you (especially Kind, Joseph, Boat) are helping me to recognize, I am determined to move forward in healthier ways for my self respect when it comes to how I carry myself, hold my ground and move forward. I have to continue moving forward as a single man building the kind of life I want to live.
