The next year is going to be a doozy. There will be a cruddy divorce. A house sale. Hard liquor. Two business transfers. Money troubles like you’ve not seen. And, of course, a wholesale life assessment. All in the next 401 days. Don’t worry about this seeming unfair, things will get turned upsidedown for everyone on September 11, 2001, just as you’re finally getting over the worst of it.
Truthfully, things won’t settle down for about five years, but you’ll make it. Things will be better in the end, but before that you will have to decide:
• where you really want to live?
• who you really want to live with?
• is the American Dream worth chasing?
• what is your dream anyway?
• what role do you want to have for work in your life?
• what role do you want for family in your life?
• who is family?
And you’ll be a totally different person in the end.
You’ll have to learn lots about women that you didn’t learn before, and you’ll learn it the hard way. You’ll have to learn about working for a boss you loathe, because she’ll be your soon-to-be ex-wife. You’ll have to learn how to be emotionally self-sufficient, and it will suck. You’ll have to reconnect with your family and renegotiate your relationship with them.
You’ll have to grow up once and for all. It will be an amazing adventure over the next year. Happy Birthday.
