Wow...so cool for YOU GUYS....a two-fer today since my last post was so late.
Tonight was another one of those, "so happy to be alive" moments.


I got to have a "boys night out" with BOTH of my sons. We went to Arigato, a hibachi table restaurant where they cook at the table.




I know, I know.....I probably shouldn't be going anywhere NEAR a place like that, but ya know WHAT.....if I can't ever enjoy LIFE, why be so happy that I am alive?


I am happy I am alive & I plan on making sure God knows that, and I am going to be as much of a "good boy" as I can be....but I also need to remember to ENJOY the life God has seen fit to give me.


I don't have a lot to tell you about tonight....just that I was a bad boy tonight & that I am glad about it....at least a little bit.

As I write this I am trying to help my youngest son with this CCD work for 1st Confession. It is S-L-O-W to say the least and I am getting FAR too confounded....to frustrated. I am quickly being reminded that I have NOT gotten to that magical place where "the little things" don't bother me anymore....at least not totally.


I guess being a year out has made me forget a little what I almost lost & made me forget what is TRULY important. We want our kids to be perfect, our lives to be "storybook". But don't a whole lot of storybooks end with someone being eaten, or melting?


Life is not all good, life is FULL of "the little things" that frustrate us and ruin a day. But life is also full of the little things that "make our day"; and life is full of big things, good and bad. The trick isn't to ignore the "little things". We'd be ignoring 1/2 the life God gave us....the trick is to APPRECIATE it all. We need to appreciate the little things, the big things, the good and the bad.


Maybe, JUST MAYBE I'll learn that trick.


Good night & God bless.
