Two Volumes Of Pure Joy

About 5 years ago I had all of my blogs made into a two volumes of bound books.  I just wanted to preserve all of those memories in case something happend to the electronic version.

This evening I picked up Volume 1, and began reading from the beginning.  It was over 10 years ago when I started writing about my wonderful family.  As I was reading the words to each blog, I realized how much joy I had in my life at that time.  And not to toot my own horn, but I also realized that I was a pretty darn good writer.

I'm sure that I will never again experience the type of joy and happiness like I perpetually lived in when I started blogging in 2008, but reading the words of those blogs and looking at the pictures lifts my spirits, and inspires me. 

What a wonderful gift.

New Year New Fear

Here we are in 2018 already.  Haven't posted much I see.  Still looking for my new muse I guess.

Boys are growing up so fast it scares me.  They will be grown and gone before you know it, and I will be lonely.

Got a couple of years left with Aidan until he's off to college.  Typical teenager right now.....caring more about his phone and his friends than anything else in his life.  I try really hard to still teach him things, but he's at that stage in life where he knows everything.  I guess we were all that way when we were that age. 

Christopher is still young (10), and let's me still be a dad.  I like that.  Makes me feel needed.

I hope to start writing more.  I always have things on my mind.  I don't get to express myself much, so I guess I need an avenue.  I don't think anyone reads this blog anymore, so I'm probably just waxing poetic to clouds.  Oh well....

Until next time.
