I tried to write you an email, but the v...Hi Kevin,<br />I tried to write you an email, but the various options wouldn't let me, so here I am anyway.<br />I chose to use this post because I love the philosophy and attempt to practice it in my work.<br />Thanks for stopping by my blog and not being afraid to let the world know you're actually following! You may have noticed that I've become one of your growing list of followers, as well. I really enjoyed viewing your work and look forward to seeing more in the months and years ahead. Reading your profile reminded me of my own rather colorful path to ending up as a painter. I believe all of our life experiences cannot help but make us, not only better painters, but better people, too.<br />All the best to you and your family in the New Year!<br />Sincerely,<br />Gary. <br />PS I was a "golf-aholic" for many years and understand perfectly, your love-hate relationship with the game. I gave up the game a year or so prior to retiring from the navy for a couple or reasons: I wanted to paint and live on my pension without working another job and golf, as you know, is not a poor pensioner's game. The other reason was I just knew I probably wouldn't get any better than I was when I quit playing. Age and the associated infirmities were just around the corner for me and I didn't want to stink-up the course. I decided to give it up on my terms, on a high note.Gary L.
