Big Bird, a life well lived...
I was sad to hear of Caroll Spinney's passing (big bird) and simultaneously appreciative and inspired by his life.
He was a great example of not giving up on finding purposeful work. Caroll Spinney found his around age 36. He clearly lived a meaningful life and will be missed. “Before I came to ‘Sesame Street,’ I didn’t feel like what I was doing was very important,” Spinney said when he announced his retirement in 2018. “Big Bird helped me find my purpose.”
Its never too late to find yours.
thanks Big Bird, and God speed...
