Tonight I had a drink and dinner with a great guy – which I will not name. We had a few minutes to chat and he is always complementary of me, sometimes uncomfortable as I just want to be me and not a celebrity.

We began to talk and he was sharing things about his past, his son and daughter as well as life in general. The conversation came to me saying, “XXX, you are a great guy, you have hit a bump in the road and need to get off the couch and change your ways.” We discussed the fact that is wife brings home the bacon and his job for a few hours at night – answering the phone – just does not cut it. “You need to take control of the situation and even if you become a greeter at a store, you need to get out of bed, off the couch and move around,” I stated.

We continued, I bought him a beer, finished my diet coke and dinner. Before I excused myself, I told him “ because I care about you if why I gave you my thoughts.” He commented that he knew and that meant a lot.

I hope that I inspired XXX to get off the couch and do the right thing for himself and his family. He was telling me that he followed me on Twitter, Facebook and on my blog. So I wrote this for him – because I care!

You can do it my friend!
