I was so excited for you to do that photography job, too!!

And yeah, as I get older and look ahead towards retirement in the next 10 years or so, I'm taking a much closer look at what "success" is, and how I define it.

This leads me to shopping at small independent stores, almost 100%. Even if I am buying from Amazon, the stores I tend to buy from are small shops set up to sell via the Amazon engine, not big box retailers.

I have come to appreciate that "success" is a 3D scale with many variables. And people can set those variables to whatever they want to define as "success", so each person's definition will be slightly different than everyone else's.
