Introduction I am what I am. Sometimes, I become more of what I could become. Occasionally, I try to be what I am not. But never am I more what I am than when I decide to just be. I live. I love. I work. I learn. I teach. I do other stuff, too. I experience. I run. I hike. I play. I cook. I lift. I plan. I dream. I accept. I exist. Others in my life touch me with their goodness, and for that I'm very grateful.
