I find satisfaction with my life when I think about my best friend Leroy who is now in heaven, he comforted me when I was having a bad day. Whenever I was having a bad day I always knew that he would be at the barn waiting for me! 

If any points please send to Altair (#358886)

To have the most successful year for my department that they have seen in years. In doing so I will have been a successful manager in helping my team work together to achieve goals, have structure and stay consistent in what we do. I want everyone I work with to love coming in to work everyday and putting forth 100% when they do because they love working!

I find satisfaction with my life when I think about my son. He is growing up to be the most handsome, loving little boy. He makes me absolutely SO proud! He is my entire life- my MIRACLE! I never knew I could love someone as much as I love my little mini me! I most definitely love how photogenic he is too! Makes my heart absolutely melt- I cannot wait to see him grow up into the strong, level-headed man I KNOW he will be!

Point here, please. https://horsephenomena.com/horses.php?id=360590

I find satisfaction with my life when I think about how far I've come.

I was in such a rut during my late teens and early twenties. I had no sense of direction, couldn't find my identity and felt as if I was just 'existing'. Now at thirty-two, my life is exactly where I want it to be. This picture is a part of my office, my sanctuary, a place where I can write novels until my heart's content, and reflect on all the goals I've achieved thus far.

Taken January 3 leaving work, no filter. Las Vegas, NV.

I find satisfaction with my life when I think about the oppertunity to explore.
If I can achieve one thing this year, it will be discovering new adventures in my new state. COVID has made it difficult to explore because I've been an essential employee in healthcare and the legal field but I am going to make time to discover new things in this beautiful state.
