Comment:
I often wonder about my good fortune. Sure I have had some real bumps along the way but I am in a really good place. I am living where I want and have people around who love me and I love them. I have a full life doing good stuff. I am happy while still trying to figure out what retirement is and what is next. I have three children. One in Maryland, one in Richfield, and one in Hamburg, Germany. Amoung them I have seven grand chhildren. I worked a number of different jobs over the years. Most of my working life was in sales. The last twenty years as a sales manager for a manufacture of industrial equipment covering 15 states. When I got downsized, fired, I began a home repair business (handyman) That was one of the best things that ever happened to me. They should have given me that opportunity earlier. Since the death of my first wife, we almost made it to our 40th anniversary, I have married a wonderful woman. She has a son who is now my fourth (adult) child. We moved to the country in the shadow of the Shenandoah mountains and the skyline drive. I drive to DC to work two days a week but I will stop doign that some day, I think. The drive is really not fun. I really like what I do and have worked for some really wonderful people. I have led a number of mission trips in the us and am getting ready for the next one at our new church home. Off to AL to repair homes in a very poor area dammaged by tornados. |
