Find your joy.

I briefly touched on this thought on the home page but I wanted to elaborate a bit more. For me wood working, for that matter, working with my hands and creating something connects me to my Dad. I grew up, as most boys do, idolizing my Dad. I watched in amazement as he created anything and every thing. Sure I wish I had more time with him, but I savored every moment that we spent together. I guess what I am trying to say is find something that truly brings you joy, find something that connects you to who you are. All too often we forget to do something for ourselves, but we need to. In doing this you will be a happier person and those around you can only benefit. I’m rambling, I know.

My parting thought for this post, life is too short carry with you the things you want and need in your life and let go of the things that are only weighing you down and preventing you from being who you are.
