Sources of pride

My family and the life we’ve built together. I’m proud of the way I’ve raised my kids. I’m proud of the accomplishments of my children. I’m proud of my house and the improvements we’ve made over the last 10 years with more on the way. I’m proud of the man I’ve become even though there is still a long way to go.

Sources of anxiety

the health of the business, the state of our country. when we can go on vacation again? will I get seriously sick at some point or a family member get sick? How will I pay for the kids college? When will I be able to retire? Will I eventually be able to quit drinking for good?

Bold future dreams

get in really good shape and quit drinking for good. travel to the places we’ve missed this year and add more to the future. develop a secondary source of income.
