2008 was my rebuilding year

I lost 45 lbs.
I can now run 7+ miles with relative ease.
I lost a girlfriend and a cool apt.
I lost my job.
I lost my self doubt.
I lost my social media cherry to Twitter.
I lost a lingering infection.

I gained a ton of new friends.
I gained muscle.
I gained some lifelong relationships.
I gained a sense of purpose.
I gained a sense of what I want to do with my life.

2008 was a heckuva rebuilding year. Hope you all enjoy your successes and overcome the obstacles in even more style than I did.

And thanks.
