It is again time for an update to this original first post written more than 16 years ago, in 2010. Fast forward to 2024, and a new update in 2026. Although much has changed, much remains the same. My challenge now is to revise and reinvent the work at hand. This will take some time, but I'm older and wiser now and with still more thoughts to share.
2010 - It seems like it
was only a few short months ago that it all began, or it may have started many more years ago; historians will debate. All I know is that one door closed and another opened, and now I am following the open path. I was a common, ordinary kind of guy, one of the corporate workers at "The Big Company," when I got the call from the folks in middle management telling me that my position was going away. This set in motion a whole series of changes. But first, I had to step back and think about what I wanted. I could have just pushed for another similar position in "The Big Company." Still, I felt a brighter and more exciting future outside, so I left the Golden Handcuffs behind to pursue my passions, follow my heart, if you will, and see where it leads. So now, some time later, I must confess that I am living my dreams. I've always wanted to live a creative life, and now I'm doing that, focusing on writing, making music, doing more and more photography, painting, drawing, and really thinking about life and the issues of our time.

So, I'm thrilled to be refreshing this old blog in for 2027. As The Time Keeper's Journal, and since very few people have actually read my work, I plan to bring in some more creativity and share it with my readers, whoever you are, and maybe help others to have the courage to go after their dreams and goals, to venture out beyond the simple day-to-day world of working just to make a Buck with the hopes of really making a difference, or at least leaving a trail of creative effort, and works of art that can be enjoyed by those who follow.
In 2026 - soon to be 2027 - much has changed. I haven't documented my thoughts on those changes or what they mean yet. I'll write more about that in the days ahead. For now... I'll just say, "What a long, strange trip it's been, and continues to be, at least for the moment."
