A tractor, golf cart, and an old man

My friend called me once for job advice.  This wasn't the first time she asked me about the scenario.  So instead of answering I asked her a question, 'You know exactly what I am going to advise you to do, and we both know you are going to do the opposite.  So why are you asking?'

Most people aren't really asking for advice.  If I want to hear something I ask a certain person.  I have people for: career advice, relationship, guy perspective, friendship, no bull shit, positivity, support, and that friend who you can call who will go out and help you forget everything.  I know these things before I call.  I knowingly pick my advice.  So don't change what you tell me or it will throw my whole system off tilt.

I find myself starting to do this with my doctors.  The different opinions is frustrating; however, I am starting to use it to my advantage.  I love to exercise and be active.  My first doctor put crazy limits on that.  The specialist in NYC told me to exercise everyday - even when it is painful.  Most importantly he told me I can ride my bike again!

Because I constantly need goals and projects I have come up with a great idea!  I love getting mail.  I love writing letters.  It is a lost artform.  You may not know this but not everyone has mail delivery.  My parents have to go to a post office to collect their mail.  So each day I will write a letter then walk a mile to the post office to mail it.

Today I passed a tractor, two men on a golf cart, and an old man sitten on his front porch.  Best believe that by the end of the week I will know his name and his partial life story.

If you would like a letter send me your address!
