I've been at a loss for words lately. Life goes fast.

Recently I touched base with an old swimming friend of mine, and it's thrown a whole different group of thoughts into my small brain. Visit his webpage at www.adammania.com to learn a little more about him. It's awesome to see someone living out their dreams. Success is great at any level, but competing as a world class swimmer...come on. I can't wait to see how he does at the US Olympic Team trials in Omaha this upcoming summer.

What are my dreams?

What am I actually doing here?

Where did my drive and passion go?

I digress.

In other news, my Dad called me one morning last week at work to let me know my cat Jasmine died. You see, my current landlord doesn't allow us to have cats in our duplex, so they've been staying with my parents for the last year. We noticed she wasn't feeling good last Wednesday night, but I was waiting to get paid before I could take her in to get checked out. Friday morning she passed, so at lunch I went and said my final fairwells. I gave her cold body one last rub and her little face one last kiss. She brought me so much joy.

Sorry to hear about your cat. You don't realize how much an animal means until they are out of your life forever. You certainly remember what I went through a year ago and I am sure you are probably going through the motions too. Hang in there buddy.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
