Several years ago . . .

I began to blog in this very room.  I am in the Graphic Arts room at Novi High School.  The Internet is not blocked for a moment.  It was here that I learned to blog.  I like to blog, but I have been away for some time.  I can not believe how fast time goes . . . and how quickly the days pass without even noticing at times.  I have been busy but what have I been doing?  I will blog more soon . . . miss you all.  Peace

Wrong Side of the Bed . . .

Have you ever had a less than steller day . . . yesterday was my day.  For what ever reason, I was out to lunch.  No, I was just a crazy man.  Ask my kids.  I hope they make it through this crazy thing . . . No, no one had to go to the hospital, but I was frustrated with just about everything.  I just hate days like that.  They seem like such a waste.  Well, off to a new day and a new adventure.  Time to ask forgiveness, and forgive myself.  Peace

Quest for the good life . . .

What is the "Good Life"?  there you go, a short blog . . . help me think it through . . . I will add some of my own thoughts along the way . . .peace

May Day . . .

So today was the first day of May. I am in Pontiac Michigan for the evening. I can not sleep, so here I am on the net at the hotel. I was able to officiate the a wedding for some friends from church. We had a great time. The wedding was good, the fellowship was good, the food was good. The wedding was held at the Lafayette Grande in Pontiac. I guess this place was built some time in the 1920's and was originally a Masonic Temple.

I am so thankful to be able to be part of folks lives along the way. It is amazing to walk through life with other folks. The challenge becomes how do I interact with my wife and kids the way I am able to work with others. I have so much to learn. I want to be a better husband and a much better dad. I am so thankful for my family. Well, that is enough for today which is actually tomorrow. Have fun. Peace

BMW dreaming on a TATA nano budget . . .

Here I am at school today . . . fourth block, a few moments away from going to the gym. Thinking about life a little. I dream of one day owning a BMW. I had the joy of test driving a BMW 530 this past weekend. I also bought my birthday gift - a key ring from BMW. It is nice and I hold my work keys on it. Now on to the real thoughts for the day . . .
Do not create debt . . . no matter what . . . fight hard to pay for things as you go . . . and do not go into health debt either, it is hard work to get out from under the weight.  It seems like I am hyper focused on my weight . . . however it is not the weight I am looking at as much as the road I am currently on in my attempts to downsize.  I know I am on the long road of recovery, and that I accept.  It is a daily reminder to remain on this narrow road.  I must remind myself of the goal that lays ahead, and continue to push towards that goal.  both deal with debt in my life . . . freeing myself from the slaver of financial debt as well as freedom from the weight that holds me down and back.  Well, enough of a rant for today . . . enjoy the moment . . . peace
