As with most people, my main goal in life was happiness. But, it wasn't until my later years, after some experiences (good and bad), that I realized that it wasn't things that brought happiness, but what I did and learned from those (experiences). My relationships, my dog Sunni(the labradoodle that was supposed to be 30lbs but is now 60lbs), my wife of 26 years - the love of my life, and my hobbies. Playing guitar, piano, photography, travel, and resin art, all bring peace and joy in different forms but balance is the key. Living life with integrity and compassion will keep us on that even keel.
Thank you,
Rod Konkin
