Catching Up

I knew I was going to be tired so instead of working from the comforts of home, I dragged myself out of bed at precisely 5:03am to go into the office. I was afraid I wouldn't be so productive from home and on the day before a two week vacation, productivity is very important. The traffic on the way in was typical Friday light. It was a good day at work, a horrible commute home. Now the countdown begins.

New Beginnings

The last few days have been filled with celebrations. Brie graduating from high school and Matt & Ashley adding to their little family. It's been fun, but exhausting.

This is the little guy unaware that his life is about to change (for the better).

More love to come.

Live

Life, it's often messy and sometimes it beats us up, but we still have to live our lives. We can't be afraid to get hurt because it's going to happen, but it doesn't mean we can't keep on going.

"Get to living or get to dying" as Red so eloquently put it on The Shawshank Redemption. Or as the lyrics from Both Sides put it, "something's lost but something's gained from living everyday"

I think this picture says it all...

Broken Resolve

There was all this talk about it being National Doughnut Day. It broke my resolve.

Every inch of it.
