I do not tell you this to bring you down. I share this with you to let you know that I am struggling. I know that there will be a transition from this challenge back to a normal life. I long for being back to myself. I have not felt like me for several months. I have been ask many times, by many people, what does it me to be you? I am a happy man. I love to laugh, have fun and encourage people. I am a blessed man with an amazing life. I have a beautiful family. My kids Rock. My wife is so amazing. We celebrated 32 years of marriage on July 9th. Wow, how does time go so fast. It seems like the days along the way were long, but the years have been short. I know that my thoughts are all over the place, this is the current state of my thoughts. I have so much to say and want to share, but it is a scattered mess in my mind. Some may ask, hey, why blog this? I want people who know me to know that I am an ordinary man, and I am struggling. I also want those who may also struggle to know they are not alone. Many days on this current journey, I have felt alone. I am blessed with a strong support group. I am blessed with a great family and friends who love me and encourage me. I am asking God to continue to walk with me through this valley and as we come out the other side to be able to bless others. I know this time of struggle and tears will not be wasted. Thank you for hearing my heart. Know I love you and I am praying for you. Reach out if you have questions or desire to chat. Peace, Tim
