Dig Deep

For the first time in a while, I can say that I am genuinely pleased with things for the most part. After reviewing my last blog, I realized that it's alright to have questions. But you are probably wondering what's up with this sudden change in attitude by me.

To start off, I had my best Valentine's Day in years. No, I'm not "in a relationship", but it was a good day. I cleaned the house, got a lot of work done, cleared up an old feud, and chatted with an old flame without it being awkward or me making a fool out of myself. All in all, it was an excellent day.

I started running again to get to work on part of the plan for optimizing myself as stated in a previous blog. It's amazing how much better I feel about myself when I'm done. Now I'm not gonna lie, it hasn't been easy, but I've surprised myself what I can do when I dig deep. It makes me sort of regret risks I didn't take years ago because I didn't have enough confidence in my abilities, but what are ya gonna do?

American Idol is back now. While I know many of you have strong opinions on it, I happen to like the show because I like seeing people taking risks and living out their dreams. I was a bit disappointed because my favorite girl got KOed tonight, but it is what it is. One opportunity opens countless others.

Spring and subsequently baseball season are just around the corner. Spring is by far my favorite season, as I love the fresh start that comes with it. A fresh start for my Cubs this season is gonna be great...I can just feel it.

So, while I felt a bit despaired the last time I blogged, I feel greatly encouraged for a few reasons. I see the light at the end of the tunnel and know that by digging deep, I'll get there that much more quickly.
