KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS!!!

What's up My people's! I am taking this time to again thank all the people, family ,friends and in-direct contacts that may have had an effect on me good or bad.
In this life of ours we take alot of things for granted. I know that I have lived, loved and will continue to live and love without regrets. I think that is the key to happiness. The ability to be able to live with the cause and effect of our decisions. Sure, There are some things that I would have done differently had I had the mentoring or insight that I have know. But even those aspects of my life I embrace without regret.
The point I am getting at is this. Like most men and people of color I chose to ignore my yearly check ups and had a very unhealthy diet. All those years of bad food, too much drinks and not enough excersise and sleep has finally caught up with me. Had I Maintained at the least my every 6 month visit to get evaluated there may have been a different outcome. The Hypertension and Heart failure would have been diagnosed and treated before it was to this point.
On January 16th 2009 I am having a much needed surgery that will enable me to live a much more enduring and fullfilling life. My resoluotion is to become much Productive and motivated. I will do that by
1. Having my surgery and maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
2. To become more aggressive in improving myself physically and Financially.
3. To work on becoming less of an "asshole" and be more understanding and tolerant
of people I come into contact with. ( I am not saying that I am going to be silent and deal with the bullshit. I will just rephrase my opinions in a manner that will not be so "offensive")
4. By Changing the negative and uninspired people around me because that tends to leave you negative and uninspired.
5. And finally, by being more of a spiritual person. and understanding that I need assistance. That every journey is not one that needs to be traveled alone.
On January 17th the new me begins. To all my Family, Friends, Aquaintences and those that I will meet later on in Life, Keep me and my family in your Prayers. I will do the same for you.
Love, Peace & Blessings!
