Benjilynn and I are now well on our way to kick start this world tour and as we approach the listing date of our house we continue to evaluate our worth. What is our value? When we discuss the listing price of the house it becomes obvious that our value is more than monetary, our house is not just a building it is our home. We have raised 3 children out of this home, we have run businesses, hosted friends and family and we have created 10 years of memories. They are worth something and they are valuable.
We have spent hours mulling over a spreadsheet where we have itemized all our belongings and we have put a $$ value to every item. This value is not always easy to determine and what we need to ask ourselves is "what will somebody be willing to pay?" That really is the value when selling an item. We also have items which are nearly impossible to place a value because they are worth so much to us and we have decided to give these items to people who we trust and who will also place a very high value on them. A good example are our pets. Our beautiful, unique and loving dogs. Thank you to those who have taken these family members to be your family.
I am very grateful for my job and the career I have had over the past 11 years with RR Donnelley. It has been a great time, lots of learning, opportunities and rewards. I work with a great team across Canada and part of my worth comes from them and the income I have made working with them. I would not be in the financial position to make this trip happen if it weren't for this company and it's leadership team. Thank you RR Donnelley! It has been very difficult these past weeks knowing that I am leaving my team, my friends and my mentors but I cannot help to think that one day we will work together again. I hope so anyway.
I cannot place a value on myself without looking at my children and the character we have helped nurture and develop in these young adults. I can honestly say that my 3 children have all increased my value and self worth. As different as they all are, they also have many commonalities such as strength, independence, creativity, adventurous and solid ethics. I am blessed to have had them in my life.
Above all else, my wife has increased my vaue and this continues to appreciate and grow. She has always been there for me and I appreciate her. We are entering a different phase in our lives and we have decided to get to know each other, intimately. After 25 years we are going to start dating LOL. That's right, we are dating and just as many of you graduated university and went backpacking the world with your sweetheart, it is now our turn. I am excited about the thought of getting to know Benjilynn better than I know her today, getting to know her in a different light and as she grows and changes I want to grow and change with her. We have proven to be good business partners, parents, providers, nurturers, leaders, taxi drivers and now we are going to become good lovers. Sounds like fun doesn't it!
Thank you Benjilynn, for joining me on this adventure in the Back Half of our life!
So, what are you worth?
