Been busy

10

Between work and life, been so busy I barely even log in and skim recently and that's a bummer. Good news is that in just over 24 hours I will be boarding a plane to (ultimately) Rome, then will hit Florence, Munich, and Frankfurt before flying back home. Will have two of my daughters with me and will be meeting my wife there (she is...

Life's paths

In life, I often feel like I'm on an ever long hike. My wife and I are on it together. Sometimes I wander ahead, sometimes I lag behind, but we walk together. As I wander through life, I love when our paths cross with others... some walk the same path, others do not. Some walk with us, others walk away. None of this bothers me,...

@nerwen I am. I think moving from work that was draining me with no rewards (IT work) to work that lets me know what I do is worthwhile (Psych Social work) had a huge part in that, but I now pay attention to my body, as well.

BlackHeart Burlesque

My wife and I went to see the BlackHeart Burlesque when it came through in 2013 and we loved it. Sadly had to miss the last couple years, but for my birthday, my lovely wife sent me and my daughter to see them tonight. The show is even better than it was before, loved seeing @katherine host it again. Met @lucerne at the booth, saw...

Monday

Well, about 17 months ago I posted about having graduated with my Bachelors of Social Work at the age of 49. On May 14th, at the age of 51, I walked across the stage at Baylor University to receive my Masters of Social Work. I will soon be a full fledged Trauma Counselor for Veterans. Life goals have no time limits.
