THAT MOTHERFUCKER RULED

I decided tonight that that was what I want on my tombstone.

Now that's dead stylin' innit?
I met a new years resolution way ahead of schedule this weekend.I had resolved to write and record 4 acoustic songs before years end,and i wrote the last two and recorded them over the week or so.I got the cover art picked out and all that's left is to format burn and print.I'm very pleased with myself about that.
This past year has been challenging on a number of levels...I finally got to address my drinking in a way that makes it better for me and everyone around me.Don't get me wrong,I was never ever an asshole drunk,but I was drifting into sloppy drunk territory,and we all know asshole drunk is right around the corner from that.And I could never do that.
So I didn't,and I'm a better man for it I think.
I believe part of that process was closing the gaps in my life,as Annabelle so aptly pointed out-I have unfinished business.
I have had the opportunity to reconnect with lots of people from the past this year...some I will see again and stay in contact with and some I closed the book on,and even some I've been able to reopen the book on.I no longer grieve the loss of great friends and surround myself in sadness,I celebrate our time together and remember them with smiles.
I feel very fortunate to have had those chances and the magic of it all is not lost on me.
I have another grand baby coming,that makes three,and while that would make your average almost 49 year old recoil in panic,I can't wait to lay eyes on Maddy.
And while I still have unfinished business-who doesn't,whether they admit it or not?
I know inside that I am on the true path.
