How I did it
It made me
love my new bike 
How I did it: I saved $300 which was what I wanted to spend. $100 from overtime. $30 from selling things on craigslist. And $170 contributed from my wife from "the change jar." I spent 3 months searching catalogs, stores and craigslist. Finally, finding the exact bike I was looking for, a used Surly Cross Check for $250 and I spent $50 on upgrading parts. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: Move distressing things out of my life. Remember that life is not serious and significant. Worrying only takes away from the experience of life. Automating my bills made a big difference. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I took a Wilderness First Responder course a few years ago and fell in love with the material, scenarios, etc. I decided this year to try to become an instructor. I applied to take the Wilderness Medicine Institute's Instructor Training Course. I was accepted and although it was a difficult course, I passed and was hired to teach Wilderness First Aid. The first course I am co-instructing is scheduled for February '09! Read how I did it…
