Tap Into Life

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.  To put to rout all that was not life and not that I had come to die, discover that I had not lived."


Henry David Thoreau

I don't read poetry, I wasn't an english major, I didn't attend an ivy league school, in fact, I've got about a year left if I were to finish my Bachelor's Degree.  I don't earn a six-figure income, I don't drive a Jaguar, I don't wear a suit and tie and I don't live in a 4,000 square foot house.

I'm not a member of the Country Club, I don't have the latest fashions, I don't vacation in Europe and I don't have season tickets to any sporting events.  I don't have a "usual table", I'm not known by name at the nicest restaurants and I don't have an American Express Platinum.

I am a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a friend, a provider, a listener, a lover of adventure, a seeker of the extraordinary and a pursuer of life.  I bike, I ski, I snowshoe, I camp, I hike, I workout, I read, I work, I enjoy good food, I drink great beer and I challenge myself everyday.

What I am, is far more important than what I'm not and what I have, far outweighs what I sometimes think I need.

I've made the decision to, "Tap into life!"

Cheers
