I say this mostly because I'm married to an incredible woman, and we love each other.
I also say this because even though I have some pangs of regret for not having taken action (or more action) on certain things (like buying more Bitcoin in 2013 when a friend here at Steemit first introduced me to cryptocurrencies) I remind myself that how things are going right now are pretty good.
Here are 5 of the reasons why (at least in this moment!):
- My aforementioned relationship with my amazing wife Bonnie
- I'm doing something that I love, and I get paid for it; I teach acting classes and inspire my students to be the best version of themselves both in the craft and in their lives
- I've been a working actor for 21 years (and counting) and I just got another word I booked another job a couple of days ago
- I'm healthy for a man of my age (it's an actor thing to not give the exact number, but let's say I'm over 30)
- I'm here with you fine people
I don't know where this will all lead eventually, but so far I've done well considering how I got here (not the easiest route, but more about that in a future story).
I'm sure each of us has our story of how we got to where we are now, as well as our feelings about what it took to get here. So, I applaud you, each of you, for making it this far (both this post and your place in life!)
And of course, the warm hug! (I like using this one over and over, because I played the role of Snoopy in the play "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" back in 1994, another story worthy moment)
