June 25: Things are changing. I'm changing. You're changing. Our friends are changing. My focus is changing. Our goals are changing. 

  My focus used to be on people. I used to think a lot more about the people in my life. Now, I can only think about my own family--my wife and kids. And now, more than ever, I'm thinking about money and how I can get more of it. Reality is, the number 1 priority in my life is my family--Thinking about how I'm going to support it for the rest of my life makes me hands-full. 

  Actually putting this reality into words brings a whole new realization. If I can think about my friends once a week I'm doing pretty good. 

  This hits me like a ton of bricks, though, 'cause that's not how I want to live my life. I want to have more to my life than that. Pretty soon I'll be the average husband and father who lives to work and support his offspring, who can more often than not only be reflected through his children--he himself too occupied with work to do much else. 

  I guess I just want to try to think about my friends more. Just something I've been thinking about lately...
