Hello to all, Hello to myself,

I received the first comment on a post today.  It is impressive when someone who does not know me is willing to give of themselves while wanting nothing in return.  Others kindness is a blessing.  I am truly appreciative of the followers and comments.

Beyond my gratitude for the comment and followers/readers.  I had a realization when reading the comment to “Day 20”.  I had ignorantly thought that I was on this path, my thought journey, all alone.  But, I am not alone.  Thanks for being with me.

Thank you for your peace, your presence, and your love.

(Sidenote:  The only individual in my personal life that is aware of this blog is my wife.  I have a large family, a large social network, and a large professional network… but, I felt like this was a personal journey that I am not trying to advertise to the world… at least the world that already knows me.  That may seem a bit weird, but I see this as an internal journey not an external one… and I feel that I can travel more freely and be more honest under these terms.  If I shared this with family, friends, and colleagues; I would feel compelled to put on a show for them.  I would be predisposed with my awareness of their eyes and minds… and not focused on the awareness of my journey.  I understand that posting on the internet is a possible contradiction to this ideology… But I felt that it is a window for accountability and openness…)

Thank you for being, Michael.
