Glad

I'm very happy to have taken this year off from working to be a stay-at-home dad. It's been a great experience watching Baby J grow and learn and run around being cute as all get out. I'm very glad that my chosen profession has allowed me to devote a big chunk of time to family and to my daughter.

I think it is a shame that other people don't have the same opportunities as I have had to take time off from work. But it's an even bigger shame if they do have the same opportunities but have chosen not to utilize them.

There are a few things that I can look back on in my life and say that they really redefined me as a person, changed my overall, general worldview. Being a stay-at-home dad has been one of them.

It's been a good 245 days on/off the job.
