Each day is this wonderous opportunity. I’ve felt so relaxed and so charged up at the same time. I’m working harder at my own pursuits the last few days and feeding this body some much needed rest at the same time.

It’s been an interesting start to 2024. Just getting off that night shift has done wonders for my mental outlook. I feel like I’m part of society again. Not that I didn’t like my fellow nocturnal beings, there just weren’t too many of us.  

Each day I’m discovering myself again. For I’m out of the business I worked my life in and while I separated my identity from that a while back, I’m learning what my new identity is.

I’m reprioritizing. I’m sorting differently. And I’m working with a sense of urgency and purpose now. I get up and I’m excited to get to work. I don’t see limits, just possibilities. So off I go for this early morning hour.


Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Listening is good but asking more questions is better if you really want to know.
  • Pick good friends, incorporate their best qualities.
  • Work at something you love each day.
  • Be with someone you love each day.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
