I am no longer the Me I was. There are some holdover problems and I do not have the patience to wait for them to clear. (Me? Impatient?)

However through the support of family, friends and the fencing community in general (Brian and Diana to be more specific) It is slowly starting to sink into my pumpkin size head that I am a new me and I need to develop that persona. I just need to ask for help forming him.

I am driving again finally, I have started going into the office for a few hours and I even fenced again last Tuesday. I need to focus on the now and not the what was. (Let's face it, I knew I could not dunk a basketball any more when I was 40 and could live with that)

I was never really a "man of faith" but I am discovering it in my dear, dear friends and of course my angel on earth, Robin.

The words Thank You don't begin to express the emotions behind it. Brian, Barb, Diana, thanks for telling me what I didn't want to hear but needed to. I know you are right in my heart, it is just getting it to my gourd of a head.

I am hoping you can help me develop into the new "me" and we can meet irl at a tournament sometime.
