Another trip around the sun

Well I made it back from Paradise and it has been a cold hard slap in the face.  Dealing with the same crap at the mine I left and it seems to have become more intense and wide spread.  How does it go, SSDD?  I'm F.I.N.E.!  Thats frustrated, irrate, neurotic and enraged.  I know that there is another translation but this is the one that works for me so deal with it.  Got it!?

I did come back with a different take on life.  Others have commented on a "change" including the spousal unit.  The change is that I now understand what is important to me, I know what being free is and where it comes from.  I know what I want and I get to have some fun too.  That I can put off having dessert and it could be the last time I get a chance to have dessert.  Live each and every day like it is your last.  The only true thing in this world is that none of us are leaving this chunk of dirt alive.  This does not mean that I intend to do wreckless, stupid things.  It does mean that I will live my life on my terms.  I will enjoy my life, build friendships with people I don't know, taste foods I have never heard of, stand on the edge of the cliff and feel small.  I you are catching up with me it is only because I have to backup to take another look at something.

From here on it is just me and the spousal unit.  I love my family but in the end I will not wish I had spent more time at work.  I'm Going Galt!
