I am on a journey.

For the next forty-five days I am going bootcamp into my forty-fifth year on this rock. I have not always made the best decisions and find myself today smack in my mid-life crisis.

There really isn’t much to show for given the time I’ve been blessed to have. Yes there is my wife and our five children, but that is all. There is no house, no wealth, and no vacations, ever.

I am on a journey however away from all of that. I have a plan and as basic and simple as it is as of today, it is a plan. How do I know that I will stick to it? I mean my track record isn’t that great.  Forty-five. 45.

Forty-five is a place my Dad never saw so I am headed towards an un-precedented land. At forty-five, over-weight, in debt,and no career there is plenty here to cause those sleepless nights I have endured. There is much I want to do the next forty-five days and so I have chosen to simply list them.

The following list is a working draft and will change.

• Drink less beer
• Drink more green tea
• drink 2L water daily
• Eat more salads
• 12 minute bike rides daily
• Daily Bible reading starting with Proverbs
• Acquire my Florida Real Estate License
• Do the 30 day squat challenge (power skating)
• Wake up at 05:00 daily
• Play more chess
• Be nicer to the dogs
• Garden 30 minutes four days a week
• Spend better time with Yane’
• Re-read Illusions

That’ll keep me busy for now
