I've been self employed for 29 years in June. I'll keep working as long as the phone keeps ringing, and my body holds up. Ten years of faux painting is starting to show up in my shoulders. I'm hoping to make it to thirty-five. It's surreal when I look back at jumping off that cliff, wondering if I could fly, so full of hope....so grateful my American dream came true.

Hard work, one of the few things a man truly owns that no one can ever take from him.

Good for you brother! You've earned it!

Thanks Stevie!

The part I bolded above is what really means a lot to me when looking back on my career. I gave it my best no matter where I worked and how much I was compensated.

At my retirement dinner.....the CAO of our company had some very nice and complimentary things to say about my work. It meant more to me than he could have ever known.
