It's been a while since I posted, but then I'm likely the only one to notice. As the title of this blog is Thoughts from my journey, perhaps I should post some recent thoughts.

First: The current political landscape is exciting, yet highly polarized. Yes, I know this isn't novel and I'm not the first person to notice. However, it's discouraging to see people make major decisions about their leaders based on litmus tests like abortion, taxes, or whether they simply have a (D) or (R) in front of their name. This remains a very interesting election because the candidates are not typical and neither is a true incumbant. This election should also be a real statement about whether our country is ready to elect a black man as President.

Second: Life is probably too short to waste living somewhere or doing some thing that does not give fulfillment. Whether that involves too much work, not enough work, better climate, better house, more time to do charitable things, or a different place to do charitable things will depend on the person. Fulfillment may not equal being fat and happy, but it does mean feeling like your efforts are good and desired.

Third: I may need a new job at some point. Anyone have suggestions?
