I look forward to 2010 with young and eager eyes.
With the exception of getting married in 2009, there were very few bright spots in the year.
Lets see,
Harassment – by associates of Texas Tech
Annoyance – by ex-wife
Tolerance – of everyone during wedding preparations
Elation – of finally getting married
Denial – of benefits and health care mess due to surgery in January.
Yes, 2009 sucked from my cancer scare to issues at work causing me to have to take a paycut.
But I’m looking at 2010 differently.
2010, is different because of my attitude.
I’m making changes in how I do and get things done.
I’ve taken a vacation (for my honeymoon) this January. I’ve never taken a vacation in January, I always tense up before Radiothon in February and don’t give myself a chance to relax.
The difference is simple. Joanna. She sees me try to run myself into the ground and unlike former girlfriends or wife, she stops me , gets me to rest , eat, and laugh.
That change is very significant.
I am also not stressing at things that used to drive me crazy. Obstacles that frustrated me are just looks like small stepping stones that I have to overcome.
I’m slowly losing weight and the safe and efficient way : eating less and exercising more.
The end result :
Lower blood pressure – without medication
A better environment for me
A better life I’m leading.
What else have I changed?
I’m reading more and writing more. Some of the end results will be shown on this website. Some will be given to others for publishing. Some will never see the light of day.
I’ve done voice work for the Gambling Tales Podcast
I’m doing some preliminary writing work for others that I can’t talk about yet.
and I’m making room for more yesses.
Why?
Because I like feeling like that at the end of a day that I’ve accomplished something.
So how can you help?
Real easy, since I’ve opened myself to offers and opportunities. I’m not turning down an opportunity to grow, learn or share. If you have a project you want my help on , let me know.
I’m backing friends with the LAPC and other poker related events. That’s the best play I know. Helping others get to their goals. Because whether they know it or not, but helping them, I’m helping me too.
If you need my advice, someone to bounce an idea off of, let me know.
Because 2010 is the year of opportunities for me. And I’m looking for the right one and the one that will be successful for all of us.
Thanks for reading.

And a fine voice-over it is, too, laddy! Thanks for that, it really added to the sound of our show, and I appreciate it. It’s good sometimes to just take a step back and get your head straight, which it sounds like you’re doing. So I applaud that, brother.
Thank you for your continued support and friendship. I wish you and Joanna all the best for 2010. I am so proud of the fact that you are taking care of your health by eating better and exercising. I am working on a similar goal by quitting smoking. We improve ourselves from within, and that helps us to improve everything around us.
