You have one shot. One life. So much is beyond your control. But there are two things you can control: your goals and your attitude.
As for us, we are setting goals: to take the untaken trails. Take the road less travelled by. To try things, to go places, to attempt, to give it a shot. It means we haven’t lived typically. I (Oliver) did graduate (5 times so far by my count), we did get married – about 6 years earlier than the average of 29 – though we had about twice as many as most people’s ideal number of kids, with our first coming in the middle of university studies! I (Oliver) have had many jobs, including IT, forestry, church leadership, even stay-at-home Dad for a few years – and my current military job is very good! Cheryl has built a fantastic career as well, earning a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in health care while being a mother to six, and now doing basic training in her forties! And we aren’t done telling our crazy story yet!
Stay tuned for what’s next. Thanks for stopping by.
