Took this tonight as it is the last sunset of the year 2019 and the end of a decade. I look back and see that while things were rough in spots, it has turned out to be a great last 5 years to this decade. Can't say much about the first 5, it wasn't that great so I got rid of all the bad stuff, gave it all to the Good Lord and he's blessed me abundantly.

I have the job of my dreams, able to travel anytime I want and do things I've been wanting to do for a long time. I've built a cabin in East Texas that I love and will move into after I retire. I realize that a lot of the things I was doing were standing in the way of a better life. I have learned from those mistakes and refuse to look back. I don't miss any of the things that caused me grief and am thankful for each day and every amazing moment of my life.

It'll only get better in the next year. I'm happier than I have been in I can't tell you how long. Truly blessed and happy to see what the next decade brings me and those I love.

I pray everyone's New Year is wonderful and that it is full of joy, health and thankfulness!
