I'm not sure if I can tell which it is. Plenty of things are going on in my life, but I think I'm too lazy and then I cover it up by saying I don't have time because of the activity. Aidan's now 2 and half years old. He's reading, running, playing with his bat and ball. He's an awesome kid and we are completely in love with him. As do other children, he learns at such a fast pace, and we love that about him. When we correct him on his speech, he's always making sure we follow our own rules. "Don't say 'Yeah' papa, say 'YES'"  Living i...

BELIEVE...  I Believe....    That just because two people argue, that    doesn't mean they don't love each other.   And just because they  don't  argue, that  doesn't mean they  do  love each other.         I Believe...  That sometimes when I'm angry  I have the right to be angry,    but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.         I Believe...  That we don't have to change friends  if w...

I'm not sure why i'm compelled to write when I get off the phone with Chance. He's just that kind of guy. He told me there were a large number of people at the wake yesterday. Of this i'm sure.

It's not easy to sit down anymore like it used to be. I really need to work harder at an everyday affair. If I don't then I'll get lazy once again. There are so many things to write about I guess I feel slightly overwhelmed. Will I remember everything? Will it be accurate? Can I write some things that are questionable, will someone read it and be offended? I have been making summarized journal entries, bullet points. As bad as my memory is, that's a bad idea.

Woke up Friday morning freezing. The windows were open as usual but the cold wind had made it's way in. We already put the blanket away because the summer was here. But I suppose we need to keep it handy. I grabbed it and went back to bed, must have been about 4am.   Woke up at 6:24am to get ready to catch the train to Bombay. The little guy had peed last night and so he was sleeping next to me in just a shirt with no chudi. Shaving and showering the night before was a good move considering we were supposed to leaving the house at 6:20 n...

Get and stay out of your comfort zone. Never give up. When you are ready to quit, you're closer than you think. Accept the worst possible outcome. Focus on what you want to have happen. Take things a day at a time. Always be moving forward. Be quick to decide. Measure everything of significance. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you're doing. Never let anybody push you around. Never expect life to be fair. ...
