Every year I tell myself that I will lose weight, eat better, and try my damndest to keep myself around as long as I can for the sake of my wife and daughters. Though I have tried I was never successful in reaching my goal. This year I intend to surpass my expectations. Joyce can check out my abs at the next Blade Show.
I also resolve to do more for my fellow man. I have seen people who have suffered and I have done nothing. I have seen pain in people's eyes and I have not offered a consoling word. In my line of work you see things that would make the average person cry. I have become desensitized to other peoples pain and suffering and I am not happy about it. Don't get me wrong, I still care but the mentalitly is that "it isn't my family, my car, my home, my life". It is sad really. I am in a position to help people, which I do, and yet I can't help but be glad it is not me in that situation. I am not a religious person by any means, nor to I ever plan to be, but I feel that I can help people in other ways. So this year I plan on getting my EMT instructor certificate so I can help people help others. I have alot of knowledge in the field and it would seem a waste of my brain not to use what I know in a positive way.
