I haven't written here in ages (again).
I feel like my life has been on hold for so long. In one sense, my life has been on hold since I haven't been working. Now I have a job again & I have my UC & CD under control.
I really think in a larger sense my life has been on hold since I have been drifting for the past 10-12 years..... since my brother died.
I thought I was getting over that when I moved to Duluth a few years ago. However I was still expecting things to take care of themselves. I now realize I - I and I alone - am in charge of my life. I am going to listen to advice of course - but from now on I am going to make my own choices. I may be making better choices overall, but I expect I will also make some mistakes. They will be MY mistakes, and not mistakes caused by my drifting through life.
I am going to get my body and mind into shape. I am going to eat better and exercise. I am going to stop playing stupid. I am going to talk less and listen more. I am going to get another degree - a bachelor's degree this time.
I am going to do better with my new job than I ever have with any other before. I am going to get raises & promotions. I am going to make friends and network with people in the company. I am going to begin my career in business.
