Hodge Podge

I think the goal of a ‘hodge podge’ post is to not be about any one thing but be a little bit about a lot of different things. I should be able to nail that one in this post!

The Business~
     I’m finding it increasingly difficult to focus and concentrate. After spending so much time doing books and going back and digging for receipts and assigning spending categories etc . . . I’m just disgusted with the whole thing. But, I have obligations and they will be met. Wife has been great and an amazing supporter. She’s going to help with some of the projects and help me keep on task in remembering all that I have to do and perhaps I shouldn’t promise ‘next week’ when I have 3 other things I’ve said ‘next week’ too already . . . love you wife!

The Family~
     Speaking of wife . . . she’s amazing; no other words for her, simply amazing. Daughter had her first photo-shoot this weekend; from what we’ve heard she did better when Wife was not in the room. Typical daughter, independent as ever. We’re strong, close . . . I can feel it. Brother has been spending more time with us which is good for Daughter, she loves him so much. She’s wanting to spend the night with her Uncle but I think he’s still fearful of the “will you come wipe me” call from the bathroom. *chuckle* He’s doing very well himself and who knows, one day may have a daughter of his own . . .

Life in General~
     Life is good. Oh we’ve got our share of hurdles to overcome . . . I’m starting school while running a business, working at another business, counseling some friends, being a husband, a father, a brother, and a son. It’s full; but I feel it’s the perfect time to start. I’ve put it off for far too long . . . and I’m enjoying the journey back. This has caused me to slip my resume into the job market; one of two things will happen I figure. Either I’ll get to a point where I’m making enough at ‘The Office’ to pay for closing the business or the business will get so big I won’t have need for ‘The Office’.

Priorities~
     One would think that with all this going on and all of the other stuff I failed to mention that life would be a large unhappy mess; but it’s not. I can’t really explain it . . . I know I should be going crazy and pulling my hair out . . . but I’m not. I think a good deal . . . if not all of my peace comes from my faith. Lord knows it’s not my own doing. As I continue to seek God and His path for my life . . . my wife loves me for being the husband I am; I can be the father I’m to be to my Daughter, the employee I am to be to my work environments . . . it all works out. I love what I’m doing at the church, in my life and with my family.

Closing~
     So, time to roll up the sleeves and get to it. In this busyness I’m finding time to seek alone time with God. Soaping everyday has been instrumental to my state of mind and being. I’ve ordered my baritone Ukulele which should be here in a few days. I’m disappointed to not be getting my Wii this go around, but all things in time. Besides, too much on my plate now anyway!

     I’ll sign off with the promise of more regular posts to come. A little busy, but this is a good way for me to share and to vent at the same time!
