I can go fishing almost any time I want.

I appreciate this factor in my life, but I think I really take it for granted.

This can be said about a lot of things I do in my life. Everything, from getting up in the morning and dressing the way I want to eating my own lunch to relaxing in the backyard at night.

I am my own man. I have reached this point in my life because of the decisions I have made and the actions I have took. Good and bad.

I am thankful. There is no doubt. I have a great family. A wife who I share a love with that is so powerful, we are still discovering its depths. Two kids who have made me see the world differently. I fish, hunt, canoe and camp. I publish my own digital magazine.

I love it.

It is strong and delicate.
