2016 Chevrolet Camaro

I feel a bit guilty for my love of this, my personal road machine. It’s a material thing subject to the same temporary conditions of all material things, but it brings me much joy. For that I’m extremely thankful.

I do need to say that I bought Grady to prove to myself that I could still achieve at something I truly loved and wanted to make happen in my life.

I’m old, now. My life is a product of how I lived it. A collection of the good & bad. I’ve cost myself many things and many heartaches. So often I feel like a failure. So often I feel like the unrealized dreams & desires that are now out of reach are because I messed up and didn’t get it right too often.

I was able to purchase Grady complete in cash thanks to a time in my life when I did get just a little bit of something right coming back to “haunt” me. So maybe it’s a testament to my getting something right for once. A callback to my potential in life.

Anyway, I bought this beautiful road machine to remind myself that my life isn’t over. Yeah, it’s just a material thing, but it’s a self-loving reminder to keep trying. Just keep trying.
