Forty-Two
For the last few years I’ve shared what I would call a reflection post on my birthday. It gives me an opportunity to do some self evaluating and to also let you know what’s going on in my life.
My forties have been good. God is good, I have a wonderul, loving, beautiful, supporting, and caring wife. All three of my children are honor roll students. My family is good, and we are blessed beyond measure.
My career is good. This upcoming year will bring me to 20 years with the State, which means that I am on the back end of that chapter in my life. Since opening in 2024,
@station_3510 has hosted more workshops/classes than would ever imagine, and almost two dozen art exhibits. I’m still working with
@ngadc and the
@nats4good , which is a wonderful blessing and also changed the direction of my photography. I’ve become more of a documentarian, which is actually really cool.
As I get older I find myself being very self aware, and I go through this whole self evaluation thing on a daily basis (which is annoying). I think a lot more before I speak, so I find myself speaking less. I’m more intentional with how I move through life now, but that also leads me to being a little gullible with individuals that may not move the same. I still need to take better care of myself, but I’m a work in progress.
Purpose is a fascinating thing. I believe that when you operate in your purpose God will bless everything you touch. He will also bless those around you, and provide you with the tools you need to continue the trend. There are so many things I have to be thankful for and those things increase on a daily basis.
So yeah… That’s forty-two
