Shaolin Do...
No Shaolin Do. I took it easy today and rested more than anything else. I make this entry to close this record and start a new, just as this year comes to a close and a new year begins.
This year has been very emotional for me. I have fought to remain strong and healthy with obstacles ranging from minor physical injuries, to dealing with the heaviest of emotional pain..the death of my Mom and others.
There have been many challenges faced and in the end, I feel I actually performed well. I did not turn into a super-hero by any measure of the meaning, but I do know my health is better, my attention span is better and my overall outlook on life seems to have more contentment.
It often gets overlooked, but I suppose I have nobody to thank but God, for keeping me steady and on track. I could have easily gone back to alcoholism. Lord knows, I had every opportunity and many "good" reasons to start drinking again. I found a new strength and a willingness to overcome this past problem.
2008 will bring challenges of its own. I feel ready to face them now and I do so with courage. Looking forward to the continuous improvement of my health and wellbeing...So with that being said...

LET THE GAME BEGIN!!!

A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL!
