Greetings and Salutations...

There is a joke that say that whenever a woman looks in the mirror, she sees someone who is obese... and when a man looks in the mirror, he sees Brad Pitt. It's a bit extreme... but there is some truth to it. Unfortunately for me... the brad pit image left a couple months ago, and more than anything... it got a bit depressing. Not in the metaphorical sense... like really sad.

So... here I am.

I'm a hardworking man with a family. For the most part really do enjoy my life.

At 37, I have enough perspective to realize that any serious change is going to not come over night, and so there is no need to get discouraged when I don't see immediate results.

I need cheer leaders... encouraging me forward. In return... I'll listen. It's one thing I do well. I enjoy knowing people, and am learning to allow myself to be known by others.
