So I finally had a chance to read the article in Bergen Magazine that was written about my brother and myself. The article is aptly titled "Big Brothers No More".
As soon as I figure out how to save the link I will send you a copy. It's actually a pretty spot on accounting of the Journey, as abbreviated as it is.
My one big take away from this came after my cousin told me about the article. 
I had heard from a number of people that the magazine was out. A number of people made comments ranging from "great article" to "how inspiring".
My cousin agreed saying it was a great article and it is a story that should be shared with others. He also mentioned that he thought the picture they used was great.
Intrigued, I made it my mission to check this out. Guess what...he was right. The picture was great. 
Normally, I hate, despise , no loathe any picture of myself. When I saw this my reaction was "not bad at all!".
I was actually okay with it.
In fact, for the first time eve I think I have a glimpse of what others see when they see me. 
I know that sounds strange. 
I have an continue to struggle with my own self image.
For some reason, this picture allowed me to see myself through a different lens.
While I still have plenty of room to improve that image, I certainly not embarrassed,put off or ashamed when I look at it.
In fact, it feels like a good starting point as I get set to embark on the next leg of my Journey. 
In my mind,  kind of have a game plan shaping up. 
I have a trade show coming up in 10 days . My plan was to hit the ground running when I get home.
First I need to deal with my back issues.
I also have to finish up with getting my CDL.
Neither of these should have an effect on my plan to get back on track to healthy.
The picture is good. 
However, I know I can make it even better!
