A few * personal goals...

It feels good to feel good. 2 good nights sleep, 2 good mornings and 1 complete day so far. I am aware of the likelihood of a sudden tidal wave of emotion, which seems to always be looming on the horizon. But eventually I'll learn to accept these as part of the healing process.

* I just want to be able to have a good night sleep, have energy, function well, and not be a drag to be around.

Another key to feeling better is to:

* get my eating (quantity and quality) under control. Fortunately, I have several guys at work and several in my church that are participating with me in an accountability relationship. Also, I have been
* exercising again (about 5x @ week) so that feels really good.

My natural tendency is to isolate, like most men and apparently as I have been reading, most widowers. But I want to:
* be involved, even if I have to push myself.
* be an involved father, grandfather, brother, friend. I want to:
* minister and receive ministry. I want to:

* stay close to the Lord. I will not make it if I don't do that.

And as I have mentioned, I want to:
* reduce clutter at home and simplify.

So, you can pray for me, and feel free to ask me how I am doing on these goals. Let me know what you are doing - maybe we can encourage one another in that way.
