Everything has its place and everything has a purpose. I spent weeks worrying about my work and my future. I was negative, unmotivated, and resentful of my current situation.
I was in the wrong space.
We all belong to the present. We all belong in the here and now. Otherwise, we’re distracted and misplaced. We have enough to tend to in the present to stress about everything we can’t control. I’m grateful I’m here. I’m grateful I’m with my brother. I’m grateful for the people who remind me I don’t have to go through life alone.

I’m thankful for my wife and son, the beautiful day outside with an amazing breeze, front porch chats with the family, and knowing that I’m fortunate enough to be in the moment while others have passed on.
