Family, Work, and The Great Balance

Let me just start with acknowledging that I'm a piece of shit. This may be crass if you're reading, but hold on. It gets explained.

This weekend, i got to watch a wonderful documentary film about a Nepali climber who, not only completed climbing the 16 highest peaks in the world, but did it in six months and six days. Project Possible.

Next year, I'll be forty. I've done a lot in my 40 years. I lived in Alaska. I've climbed rocks in Utah. I've watched a sunrise in Maine and a sunset in Washington. I've snowboarded, rock climbed, and rafted in the same day. I've had kids, and we all survived the pandemic.

But it's time. Time to start talking to strangers. Time to start trying new foods. Time to stop leaning on the crutches I've brought with me. Time to put one for in front of the other and keep going.

Life isn't short, and it's okay to be worthless. Just be worthless by showing every ounce of love you've got.
