Life is short. Do not miss Christmas.
December 8, 2013
Am I back? Will I finish this post? Or will it be trashed like every post I’ve written since the young warrior died? What will this post be about? The title, whatever it is will be decided when I finish… if I finish. As I begin to type, I remember a regular comment made about … More Life is short. Do not miss Christmas.
Count your blessings not your worries.
December 9, 2013
Is worry your constant companion? Most who know me think I am a relatively laid back person. However even though I don’t really “do stress” I still worry. I can remember even as a child worrying.

Christmas Eve is such a wonderful day when you have children. It is full of anticipation and excitement thinking of the special visitor who will be calling later.

No regrets.

Are you someone who lives with regret? Maybe it’s an old regret, perhaps about your childhood, or schooling, loves lost, or chances wasted? I have regrets aplenty. But if I were honest and could go back, would I do things differently? The past brought me to where I am today. Am I happy with that? … More No regrets.
Happy Birthday Dan.
January 17, 2014
Today you would be fourteen. Not yet an adult but not a child. Even though we will mark your birthday today, and think of you as another year older, in our minds eye you will always be thirteen.
