Brain Dump...


Highschool seems like yesterday, I'm in my 30's, I have a wife and son with a second kid on the way. Where the F did the last 10 years of my life go. I'm lovin life to the fullest these days... but when I take a seat and sit back and realize just how fast time flys its almost kind of scary.

My Dad used to tell me "it feels like yesterday when I was your age". I used to laugh that off and think my Dad is going through his mid-life crisis, but I actually believe him now.
I look back on my life these days and realize that I have had some really good times... with my wife... my kid... my family... and my friends. It makes me sad too that some moments in a persons life especially the really good ones are just a memory and nothing more. I used to not really absorb things while "in the moment" but I started changing that. In the last couple of years I savor and commit the most minute details. I wish there was a way to turn back the clock and relive those moments, but life just doesn't work that way.

Daryl... a man I used to know who at the time was dying once told me "its funny how we take thing for granted... you got to really appreciate the simple things in life, think about it; When was the last time you sat and watched the moon for an hour?... Or wake up early to watch the sun rise?" I do that from time to time, Daryl was right even 2 simple things like that can be pretty amazing.
I wonder what the next 10 years of my life will hold, hopefully good things and I'm sure there will be some bad things too. Either way I'm lookin forward to it.

Cheers.

You mention taking a moment to enjoy the simple things in life. I'll admit that I am as guilty as anyone when it comes to this so after reading your blog the other day I was a bit inspired by those words.

I then took a minute too step outside just to breathe some fresh air and try to enjoy nature for once.

So I took a nice deep breath and then I nearly hacked up a lung.
