A lot of time has passed since I have posted anything here of real substance. My hope for 2009 is to be more consistent, as I have said in the past this is an arena for me that offers me an opportunity to reflect and be impacted by the wonders of my life.
With that being said what better time than now to reflect on the last year. 2008 was without comparison the richest year of my life. With my son growing and changing everyday I can say that my heart is full. My beloved wife continues to amaze me in the way she mothers our son as well as how she loves and supports me. All of this on top of finding out that we will be welcoming a daughter to our family. I am proud and excited beyond belief for these gifts.
It is a funny thing when you stop and take inventory of the gifts in your life. In the silence of appreciation I am moved in my soul with the understanding that so many wonders have come my way. It seems that after recognizing these gifts I can only hope that I am doing each of them justice in what I give to them.
2009 stands to be following in the continuation of previous years, building on the joy of the previous year and taking it to another level. My journey grows richer with each passing day.
It's funny in the sense that when we knew we were expecting another child I thought we would be having a girl. As time passed I began to be less and less sure that we would have a girl. Then we found out and all I could think of was how do I make sure she doesn't get mixed up with a boy like me. A close friend of mine passed along an old quote that fits perfect for this, "When you have a boy, you just have to worry about one boy. When you have a girl you have to worry about all boys!!!".
I cannot wait for her to join us. And thankfully enough time is passing by at an epic pace, so it won't be long.
Meanwhile my son continues to push the envelope in all aspects of life. He daily reminds and teaches me that life is meant to be lived full speed, head on.
So it is in that spirit that I will wrap this up.
Live Well, Love Much, and Laugh Often!!!!
Speaking of laughing, when was the last time you had a great big belly laugh? Loosen up and laugh a little!!!
