Inspired by a dear friend and compatriot in fighting the good fight, here is my year in review and my goals for 2020.
This year was one of ups and downs, but I like to think that there were more ups than downs.
1. Found a job that I really enjoy and am thankful for the amazing people I get to work alongside.
2. Was able to get back into regular blogging.
3. Lived long enough to see Star Wars Episode IX, knowing that there were many who didn't get to be so fortunate.
4. Got to see my best friend and brother Ed become a father to a beautiful baby girl (only three nights ago!)
5. Was able to get past maybe 80% of the demons from my past.
6. Learned to cook a lot more, as in REAL food.
7. Got bitten by a small dog and lost approximately $27,000 worth of productivity at work (I should have just risked the tetanus, and I hope my supervisor is happy!!)
8. Began outlining a novel, and finally writing that childrens' book.
9. Have maintained a real place of my own for the first time in my life.
10. Haven't stopped having fun with my mini dachshund Tammy, we look after each other.
My goals for 2020:
1. Travel to Florida to see my cousin get married.
2. Write even more articles for publication.
3. Fall in love with just one woman who I can spend the rest of my life cherishing and serving (am beginning to think it's a vain desire but something deep down won't stop hoping).
4. Get back to being fully involved in community theatre.
5. Continue to take care of myself, having come so far with that.
6. Keep striving to be in control of my manic-depression and not let it be in control of me.
7. Finally finish watching all of Breaking Bad, not just the first season.
8. Eat a Carolina Reaper hot pepper and video it for readers of my blog to enjoy watching and laughing.
9. Finally find a church to belong to and become part of a real faith community.
10. Draw closer to God... if He would even want me despite my brokenness and mistakes.
11. Keep trying to be the man who Dad would have been proud to have for a son.
Happy New Year!!!
