Seek and You Shall Not Find

How I Spend My Time

Man's Search for Meaning, pondered the meaning of life. That's a big undertaking. What feels more manageable is to reflect on how I spend each day. Arriving at the evening of my life was a shift from the pursuit of money to meaning. Now with the luxury of time, I could burrow into anything that captured my attention, meaningful or frivolous. The choice was mine.
