 I now know what they mean when they say “Time Flies” Our little fella is already 3 months old. He has gained his weight and is changing everyday. I find myself being surprised when he cries at night. “Oh yeah” we have a baby! Watching him grow is unbelievable, considering where we were just 3 months ago. My wife has been amazing. Started back working at her studio. I’m daddy day care now,  which is amazing. I am trying to figure out his game. We have been using this time to begin laying out a plan to increase our finances while working less so we can have the time for him. I cannot believe that 2018 is almost over. I’d be amiss if I stated for the record that I was highly disappointed in myself. I had all these goals for this year. I even wrote them out. Planned them in my head. All this stuff I was supposed to get up an running before my 50th birthday (which is 5 days away) I have done none of it. We are worse off than we were this time last year. I don’t know how to turn that switch. You’d think with a baby in the house, I’d be motivated to some degree, right? I’ve sat on this business model. I’ve made excuse after excuse. I’ve gotten comfortable with being mediocre.

The holidays flew bye. Its 2019. I’m officially 50. I am officially disappointed in myself. I let old habits return. I let fear back in. Friendships have crumbled around me. Business partners have come and gone. New ones are hard to come by. Relationships in my spiritual realm have been turned upside down. People I looked up too have hurt me and other people. I guess it’s an age thing. I hardly have any people in my age group in my circle, but its hard understanding the thought process of the younger groups. They make everything about them even if its not. Self importance on views, opinions are all that matter it seems. It strains relationships because it seems to be end sum game.

That  was my thought process. Pretty down I know. He will be 5 months old on February 2nd. So you can see that I wrote all that stuff just a little over 2 months ago. It is amazing what your mind can convince you of what you are and are not capable of. I let that draft sit there for awhile. I thought about deleting it and starting a new post, but I decided to leave it. I wanted to let people know that we all have those days of self doubt. You can’t move forward without taking that first step.

Made that first step. I have to get myself back and then proceed forward with the plans I had not so long ago.

  Who doesn’t love sunglasses? I do. But who hates paying $70-$300 a pair for good ones? I do. There are plenty of knock offs. Cheap Amazon brands that don’t look like the photo when you finally get them and then you realize why they were $10.00. Well, if you love great products at great […]

It’s a serious question that I have not heard anyone asking. Daily briefings, death counts, more restrictions, more misinformation, no debate, and a flailing economy waiting on trillions from a disconnected representative government trying to save it by subsidizing it. I’m one of the lucky ones I guess? My job at this time has been […]

Guests on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood were often surprised to find that although Rogers was just as gentle and patient in life as on television, he was nevertheless a perfectionist who did not allow “shoddy” ad-libbing;[29] he believed that children were thoughtful people who deserved programming as good as anything produced for adults on television. (Wikipedia)   “Hello Neighbor” Anyone at least […]

I wrote what seems ages ago about a new skincare line that was coming. Well, one baby ago it came. It’s been out for about 6 months and I’ve been using it. It is amazing! It has a face cleansing gel, an eye serum (late nite puffiness) hydrating creme,  and a restoring serum. (Think botox […]

This will post at exactly 9:30 pm on September 2nd. This is the exact time you came to us exactly 1 year ago, my little boy. I knew my life would change the day we realized we were having you. All the planning and details were all for naught, because you came early. So small. […]

Last year at this time, I had a family member pass from a tragic accident. Shocking that her life (that she lived to the fullest) came to an abrupt and tragic end. We scurried around for weeks cleaning out her house. Looking at old memories and finding a lot of things I did not know. […]

9 Months old. I can’t believe it! Still tiny (1%) but everything is progressing right on point. Baby gates, baby proofing, school, college, and life, are the thoughts are flooding my mind. What do I tell him about his future? What direction do I point him in so he doesn’t make the same mistakes I […]
