Wow. What a truly amazing year. If you had told me this time last year that my life would be this good and I'd be looking back on a year this personally rewarding, I would've offered you $150 for the weed you were smoking.
Of course the most obvious, superficial thing is the weight loss and subsequent lifestyle change, but it goes much deeper than that. It's about changing your life. It's about seeing that you have the power to change everything about who you are and what you represent. It's about looking straight in the mirror and saying, "Oh yeah, we're going to change this. We're going to change all of this, and we're going to be happy and fulfilled." and then going out and doing it. It's about realizing what you have in front of you: A beautiful, smart, loving, supportive wife who really does love you unconditionally, and a daughter who doesn't even know what "conditions" are and only has the purest form of love to give. It's about making positive changes every day you're alive & walking and choosing to enjoy life. Choosing to LIVE life and not merely be content with life living you. It's actually moving your arms as you go down the stream and changing the course of your journey rather than simply floating along, taking whatever life hands you and thinking that's all there is.
There's a lot out there, and all I had to do was grab it, and it became all mine... and it didn't cost me a cent.
I'm better this year. I feel better, I think I look better, I think I act better, and I think I love better, and nobody else gave it to me but me.
I'm happy, and that's all there is to it.
I hope you're happy too, and if you're not, just make yourself happy. It's easy. Nobody else can change your life but you, and it only takes the simple act of waking up every day and deciding that you're going to be happy, and you're going to live the absolute fucking shit out of life.
Because life is good.
Merry Christmas.
