Remove the urgency to "make a living" and it was obvious. That I have been living "on purpose" all along.<BR/><BR/>I have a lovely wife, a nice-enough home for which I am grateful and a family which doesn't always get it but supports me nontheless. I am immersed in love and gratitude and all the while I create. I compose. I write. I paint. I teach. Each day I bring something into the world that did not exist the day before and would not exist without me.<BR/><BR/>My purpose on this earth is to love and create and I can't wait to get out of bed every morning to do so.<BR/><BR/>Lovely to see you again at Poistive Thinkers. Hopefully see you again there soon.<BR/><BR/>Have an amazing, bountiful, love-filled, creation-juiced 2009. I know I will.<BR/>Love,<BR/>Gary JohnstonGary Johnstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07928861757460245871noreply@blogger.com
