It's been a month of crossroads.
In the past, a regular part of this blog was a pursuit of defining and working toward being the man I want to be. So it's time to go back to those roots.
When I look at myself in the mirror, I see this typewriter I found near a dumpster this week.
So, what do I want to do?
I want to be immersed in nature and bicycles. I want to be a writer whose life is a series of projects and experiments in better living for us and all the lives around us. I want to be a teacher who impacts lives for the better and constantly learns. What kind of career would that be?
Who do I want to be?
I want to be a man who loves and serves the Lord.
I want to be a man who adores, cares for, and supports my wife.
I want to be a man who is kind and care-filled toward all around him.
I want to be a passionate steward of God's natural creation.
And finally, I want to be a man who earns the trust, respect and affection of dogs.
Can anyone recommend a template for that resumé?
As always, thanks for reading and being a part of this journey!
PS. I also want to make videos like this one in my spare time. (What a slacker I aspire to be.)
A writer? A teacher? Immersed in bicycles and nature? Kind? Responsible? Lover of God and wife? Brother, you have strived and accomplished so much! You are wealthy with the capital that matters, and you have been true to your conscience and calling while still being ‘in progress’ and checking the boxes that you need to and that others need you to. A life so well lived so far, from my view :). Be encouraged man, that typewriter won’t be perfected until the very end. You are are a massive blessing to me and to many! ❤️ -Jb
