This is not a recipe for everyone.  This is not a finger pointing at anyone else.  This is not for the faint of heart.  This is not because I’m happy or because I’m sad or because I’m mad or because I’m glad.  (Those are all secondary emotions anyway, and I know how to describe my feelings accurately.)

This is about life choices, lifestyle changes and attitude adjustments.
