Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
Especially when you forgive yourself.
If you haven't yet failed in your New Year Resolutions, don't worry. Give it time. And give yourself a break. Your intentions were good and feed the idealistic portion of your soul.
A radical lifestyle change based upon the turning of what is technically an arbitrary day is hardly the foundation for long term success. Think about it: Why not a March 3rd resolution? The next March 3rd is exactly a year a way, just like January 1.
If you have failed, forgive yourself and start preparing to try again. You can change that nasty thing you do, but you have to have a plan and a support system (not a competition, btw). Wise words once shared with me, I will share with you: 30 days changes a habit, 90 days changes a lifestyle and 365 days changes a lifetime.
Now, go get 'em Tiger.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
