There might not be anything I enjoy more than coloring with my family. A lot goes on in the few minutes spent scribbling on paper. There is time for compliment which children need plenty of. The kids also learn something new every time. Whether it's a color they are using, a shape they are drawing....You name it, they are learning. Not to mention the fact that I love art and it has been a huge part of my life. Some of my earliest memories with my dad are times we spent drawing and sketching. It's times like these-times when I forget about "life" and just live-that I feel alright...I just feel in general.




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.
