41 years old, father of 2, husband. Trying (hard) to do right as a human being. I’ve learned, and continue to learn, so much that was never explicitly taught to me in school or by the adults in my early life; things I had to discover for myself.
As I go through this next phase of my life, I am sharpening and redefining my understanding of what it means to live a good life, what is worth pursuing, and most importantly how to be content (I hope).
This public journal is part of that journey. To help me refine my thoughts, structure my understandings, reflect. And so that is the first goal: to write for myself and my own development, and to force at least some amount of structure through the pressure of a public forum.
The second goal is that if I do create anything meaningful here, any lessons worth passing on, that they be easily accessible for my boys as they grow. So that they can learn from my experiences, so maybe they can avoid some of the mistakes I have made and will continue to make, or perhaps just so they can better understand me and my experiences in a way that might be helpful to them as they go through their own lives.
