Another Decade Successfully Navigated

Wow! Another decade has passed, and I am still on my mission quest. I have been truly blessed. For a kid whose conception was a surprise I turned out pretty well. Like everyone else, there are things I have done that I could have done better. But, on the whole, I am satisfied with my life choices. I can only hope that I do as well during my remaining decades.

I have a lot to be thankful for - my family, my education, my gender, my several occupations, my country of birth and life, my discovery of the value of service and loving others, and the sheer joy in recognizing the beauty around me.

Most of the major decisions in my life have been impulsive. Considering where I am, I have done quite well. I just have to remember to serve others, truly care about others and share the love in my heart. What a great way to begin a new decade.

I look forward to the new "coincidences" that will come my way. Thank you for being one of them.
