Moving Day Part Two

Prayer from despair
This hit me tonight. I had to write this now. I have touched on these thoughts, these feelings, these places, this journey I share below, in posts I have written from time to time. This…
Poem from It’s Quiet Now
I was thinking about my kids this evening while looking through the 100+ blog posts I have written. I came across this poem I wrote as part of the post, “It’s Quiet Now”, from October.…
Special People
Saturday afternoon I was fortunate enough to be present for a very special celebration. I attended a celebration of life, the life of Joe Hubbard, my friend. Due to family commitments, I arrived later in…
Twin Adventures – 22 months old
The twins have just grown beyond the 22 month old mark. I know, at some point soon, their ages will be measured in fractions of years. Either way they are growing up too fast. These…

Leave it better
Everyday, all day, we make choices. So like many others, the choice is yours. I say, leave it in better shape than it was when you got here. It = every moment, everyone, everything.
Questions
If you find yourself in despair, with more questions than you have answers for, and each second feels like a dreadful eternity, then the questions you are asking yourself are probably closer to the answer…
Yield
Admit you have a yield problem, or maybe it’s a denial problem. If you don’t yield to temptation, good for you, but if you don’t yield in traffic then it might be a denial issue.…
Blue eyes
This afternoon I found myself in a moment that almost immediately failed to register in the annals of time. It had no measure. No beginning. No end. Or so it seemed. While trying to comfort…
Ottawa
Ottawa This afternoon we got back from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Amaris, the twins, Sebastian, and I were up there for a hockey tournament with Sebastian’s team. Travel was good, the tournament was fun, the…
