The last few weeks have been a little less than insane as I’ve been bombarded with all kinds of different life experiences and seeming to only have 23 hours a day to do it all.  I’ve enjoyed the steady flow of traffic from zenhabits as I’ve been promoting my different online ventures with Leo’s awesome blog.  I’ve been trying to maintain a level of quality with my blog posts that has kept me from just taking a quick break and tapping out an average message.  This has kept my post count quite low, but I think it’s worth it to keep my homepage packed with, as Leo calls them, ‘High Impact Posts’.  And finally, Liz birthed us a little baby boy on Tuesday, the 19th of this month.  That event shook things up well beyond normal and just past insane!

It is often not until we see those last days approaching that we realize the urgency of the now.

Recently I wrote a post about my dad and I going to football games and the bonding that took place.  It was called ‘Unsaid Words’ and I talked about how we never really got too specific with our feelings for each other, but that we knew we loved each other and that was enough.  But the fact was, knowing that I only had a few months left with him made me realize all of the things that I DID want to tell him.  And not those subtle, “Good to see you!” kind of comments, but deeper expressions of the heart.

Can Our Kids REALLY Be Whatever They Want To Be?

Let me start by saying that I’m a BIG promoter of following your goals and dreams.  Just not in the way that our kids are taught.

The other day, while working on a client’s computer in their home, the TV was blaring in the background with their child plopped down on the floor, mesmerized with viewing pleasure.  I couldn’t help but notice the song that was being sung by a man with a guitar and a funny looking hat.  Surrounding him were a bunch of children rocking to the rhythm of his acoustic instrument.

To Another 33 Years!

Mom and Scott

This past weekend was a special time for my family as my mom ‘became one’ with the new love of her life.

My mom and dad had been married for 33 years before he passed away at 55 years of age.  It was quite sudden and quite certainly devastating.  But this event effected no one more than my mom.

Just starting phase 3…

The first part of our lives consist of being born and getting through puberty.  Then we transition to marriage and kids.  And all of this is followed by the empty nest stage which I just referred to as phase 3.  It is in this stage where a whole new chapter is about to unfold.  You have the joy of children without the responsibility, the freedom of adulthood with much more maturity and appreciation for life.  You’ve earned your stripes and you’re ready to make some new memories, just you and your best friend.  It has the potential to be a pretty amazing time in your life.
