Training Wheels

When I was growing up I had a red bike with training wheels, I was so nervous to ever ride without my training wheels, even though I knew I could, they were their to keep me safe. One day, my dad took off my training wheels. My grandfather and dad watched as I fell time and time again. I begged to have them put my training wheels back on. See more at http://www.donahue.org

Day 1

And I look at a pile of bills and smile.

A pile of dirty laundry and smile.

A list of e-mail issues and smile.

For I have made magic happen.  I’ve been writing and been inspired by my friend John’s Choices series, that I’m making choices.  Some of them good, some of them bad. But I’m no longer sitting with the fence post up my ass.

Things are busy at work and Joanna and I are even busier with the house.  Everything has to be perfect for in 27 days, the kids will be here in Lubbock.

I know we won’t have everything done, but even a yeoman’s effort will be enough to transform boxes and concepts into reality.

I’ve stayed away from poker lately and that may change in the future. I’ve tried to do things that were completely wrong like trying things that in the end would frustrate me.  But I gave it a noble effort.

I’ve tried also some things that I have seen success in. Even a project that may turn out even better than I thought in the first place.  But I have to be patient, something that Shelby makes me do every day, cause the girl, never even heard the word patient.

“When am I coming to see you Daddy? I miss you!”

Now on the other hand, Ryan is not talking to me now. My ex says its a phase. I’m not sure that I can handle an extended phase of my son withdrawing from me.  I need to work on hyper communicating with him when I can.

And the boy that I wanted to play catch with, take camping with  and have fun , like my father was with me, otherwise, I may lose him forever.

I don’t have fear anymore, I would have been a wreck in years past knowing about decisions that could affect my future.

But I know now that I control my future, and tomorrow during lunch, I’m going to make a visit to someone that may help me try and be a better me.

I’ll explain tomorrow.

Sometimes you turn away from evil

In the days before the darkest times in humanity there have been souls burdened with things that they could not explain nor say. It was their load to bear. I've hidden from most and changed in ways I like, and in ways I loathe. I look at the evil and yet in the mirror, the evil is me.

I’ve been moved to a routine…

Get the “I’m up before you wake up call” from Joanna and I spend the next 30 min listening to her tell me something followed by the …

“Are you listening to me or back asleep?”

My response usually is “zzzzzzzzz.”

I get to work, do my shift meeting up with Joanna for Lunch, followed by more work shenanigans and then dinner get done with house stuff , play some cards or read and then…

Sleep then

repeat.

I’ve been so busy working on other projects that I’ve haven’t gotten all the Ireland reading down that I want and need to do before the trip.

I’m really excited about this weekend because I get to wind down a bit.

Then it’s only a week before I’m in Ireland.

Sometimes its important to remember that you have to go through the sludge to get to the good stuff.

You want what I’ve been working on…

and when I have a sec I’ll get it on here.

But I’m going to leave you with a note from one of my good friends

advice quotes from me that you should already know

1) The fun never starts ’till we get there

2) Living is ten times more important than anything else you’ll ever experience

3) Don’t ever be a “people” when you can be a person
