Oh, what can happen in two short years!

I am happy to report that I most certainly changed my life, but I did not accomplish the changes I was attempting to make that I detailed in this blog.

The bad news:  I went back to smoking, started drinking heavily again, and went back to eating stuff that wasn't good for me.

I had reason - perhaps not a valid reason for backsliding where my health is concerned, but a reason all the same. As I was making all of these positive changes in my life I realized that I needed to dig deeper and really change another thing that was adversely affecting my life, and that meant ending a 6 year long-distance relationship.

It wasn't an easy decision, but it was the right one.

The majority of my adult life was spent in the Northeast.  When I was approached nearly 3 years ago to transfer south, I saw it as an adventure.

Sadly, though, I've spent most of the years here working such abysmal hours that I still haven't really settled in.

I'm changing that.  I had heard about meetup.com years ago but when I was living in Philadelphia and Wilmington, I had such a network of friends that I could usually find someone to go with me to do anything I wanted to do.  Now that I have the time to get out and about

It's the first blog post that always trips me up. Say I do this for years and years and years; will anyone ever dig their way back through the muck, back to this first post to see if I said anything profound or prophetic?

I honestly don't know. I've had a few blogs over the years - a few anonymous blogs - and once I've gotten through said anonymous stage in my life, I've taken them down, erased any trace from the web. The longest lasted just over a year.

This one, though...I'm pretty sure this is going to be a keeper.
