Casting Votes: Tom Riverman

[Beautiful Future - XVII]

I see the future being beautiful by taking advantage of the abundance of opportunities available to me.

Every moment I'm gifted with the chance to vote for the type of person I want to be.

I get to cast those votes however I choose.
I can vote to be healthier.
I can vote to have more energy or less.
I can vote to be a devoted and available husband and father.
If I want a more fulfilling spiritual life, I can vote for that.

Looking back, it can be discouraging to see how I've cast many of my votes.

Time is perhaps the most precious resource I have on this earth, and it's the only one that's truly unrenewable. I want to chose to be inspired by that fact, not over-whelmed by it. I will vote to look for the beauty the future has to offer and share it.

[Tom is an educator, baker, and a quick-witted Utahn. I believe he could make a living as a stand-up comedian . . . if he voted for it.]
