All For Now

I started writing here for a number of reasons -- to give myself something to do, to explore social media and exercize a writing muscle, to share what I learned from my bike or tractor projects.  But it's also served as a long and broken love letter at times, and I guess most importantly, as a way of exploring my own thoughts and feelings as I embarked on the process of tearing down and redefining my world.  I've had a lot going on in the three plus years I've been writing.

But I feel better.  I have for a long time, but even more so of late.

I'm not hiding in projects anymore.  I know who I want to be right now, if not necessarily two years from now.  I'm enjoying being a dad.  I'm enjoying getting out into the world (literally, the world).  I'm building and re-establishing friendships.  I'm re-imagining where I might live and what I might do when I get there.  I'm providing value in my work, and trying to imagine ways of delivering more.  I can even hear better, thanks to Siemens.

But the main thing is I feel better.

If you've spent any time up here, I hope you've found something of value.  But even if you haven't, I certainly have.  Bronze Gears has been good for me for a long time.  As meditation.  As expression.  As exploration.  But it was inevitable that it would run its course.

Thank you for reading.

That's all.
