Seems that I say this fairly often (or not so often I suppose) whenever I remember to post something to the blog. Not sure if I actually have "regular readers" or if this is just another form of Therapy wherein I can release ideas hopes and goals for the future in a place where I can look back and be somewhat accountable for them.
Because accountability is a thing in life that I truly believe in. Accountability towards others, but more importantly for oneself.
At some point in time I'm sure I'll write / talk about how 2022 was unquestionably the hardest year of my life. Personally moreso than professionally, though when one is suffering the other follows suit I suppose.
In the midst of all the personal struggles, monumental life changes, juggling of finances and moving homes ... well, the things that I'd hoped to accomplish fell by the wayside.
But now I have fewer excuses.
On the wall over my desk at home I have a white board. On it (amidst the lovely art provided by my daughter) is a list of things that I plan to accomplish as well as goals to shoot for. Some are small and attainable. Others maybe a bit more lofty. But as every 3rd inspirational quote or meme online loves to remind everyone "The Joy in Life Comes from the Journey, NOT the destination."
Words I've often said to myself. My friends. Co-workers and family members.
So this year I'm going to try and live it.
And yes, Master Yoda. I know "there is no, Try.'
But life is hard. And oftentimes the only way to honour this life I've been given is to embrace the difficulties and move towards the things that make life more joyful.
Starting now.
Coming Soon (dates TBD):
- OVERDRIVE Book 4: POWER PLAY (the outline and plotting is complete as are the first few chapters)
- READING and WRESTLING: THE PODCAST (where I plan to talk to a variety of people on a variety of topics either directly related or tangentally related to my two creative loves)
- Online Hub for all Things Me (possibly just this Blog Page for now, but a place where I can direct people to my writing, my links and more)
- Info about new areas in Canada that I've never wrestled before that I'd like to break into (hit up the DM's Promoters lol)
Plus, I plan to keep being the best father I can possibly be.
Because without her, nothing else matters.
Stay safe. Appreciate your time.
Please Share, RT or whatever the TikTok'ers do to get peoples attention.
