I know it's wrong.


A quick trip to Omaha this past week was long over-due. Only four months into our journey as a family of five I've noticed several things about myself- one of which is that I avoid making the call - figuratively speaking.

I realize that I can't be afraid to ask for help and that it's OK to be afraid. Fear is, however, the single biggest motivator so I need to embrace it and grow. Yesterday at work we were treated to lunch by a kind gentleman who is in charge of a narcotics anonymous group here in Sioux City. We have became friends over the past year, working on several posters, flyers and informational pieces for the group. They started averaging only 15 visitors a meeting, now help over 100 people a week! The dinner was an appreciation gesture which was absolutely great. I'm proud to be a part of something like Guardian Angels.

Knowing full scale the amount of damage that addiction brings isn't rocket science. However, applying that to ones personal life is a complete different story...

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.
