Thoughts on a good year

My 45th year on this planet is set to wrap up soon and I think it appropriate to look back on a few items.

Time--For the first time in my life (not hyperbole) I can honestly say that time did not fly by this year. I was often amazed at how much of the year I had left--at how much I was able to get done. Whether this is a by-product of my sobriety or my growing faith journey, who knows, but it is nice to be able to actually look back on the year and not say "where did the time go"?

Family and friends--I continue to grow and thrive in the arms of my amazing family and friends.

Health--A diagnosis in October that I would rather not have received has certainly made me focus on each day--each person I am with--each moment as it is handed me.

Work--I had no idea that as an American Male my identity was so enmeshed in my work--taking this position in OKC and leaving WATC really brought this into clear focus. I am extremely happy with my new job and very proud of the work I am doing.

Life--is good, nay, great!
