WHAT A YEAR!

Hello All,

A year ago, I tossed my Blackberry off a cliff and set off in hopes to change my life.  I saw my life passing me by and I needed to make a change.  I needed to get busy living.  I took off with my BUCKET LIST and a backpack.  I wouldn't have done it any other way.  Thanks to everyone along the way that have helped make this all possible.  Far too many of you to mention.  Most dream of the life they want to live.  I'm fortunate enough to be living it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY OLDER BROTHER BRIAN!
