Well, what's new.....
Same shit different day.
Amber & I want to start a family, we need health coverage to afford it.
So I'm leaving the family business at the end of the fall to get a corporate job with great benefits.
Sucks kinda, I love what I do, but I am the provider.
Still going to be in the pool industry, just in distribution, not service & repair.
Plus side is it will be less taxing on the body, getting older and the body just doesn't seem to repair as fast as it did 10yrs ago.
I've learned how to live being constantly sore, just don't want to end up a cripple at 60 like my dad. He worked his ass off while we were growing up and it's taking it's toll now. I know and appreciate why he did it, part of me says - "you now he worked hard so you wouldn't have to". Well, I guess I didn't take full advantage of that.
I'm further along in life than my folks were at this age. Woulda, coulda, shoulda, only serves to teach me my mistakes and don't repeat them.
That's the lesson of life I guess.
All in all, with the state of the world and here at home, we are good. We don't live above our means, and we can still afford to treat ourselves once and a blue moon.
I wake up each morning and look over at Amber and remember why I'm blessed by - insert spiritual being here - and remember why my life is happy. Through all my faults and quirks, she still finds a way to love me and do what she can to make my life better.
It's up to me to reciprocate as much as possible.
In 5 yrs of marriage I've learned that a man's happiness is a direct correlation of his lady's happiness.
Keep her happy and life is swell, make her mad and life is hell.
Well, that's about as much babble as I can come up with now.
Hope all is well,
Mike
