I had lunch with a colleague the other day and he told me about a great Christmas gift he gives his wife each year. She is an avid blogger... It's all about her family. I ask myself, "what else is worthy of blogging about?". At the end of the year, he puts together a hard bound book of everything she's posted. It's a great way to make a history of your life. So... here I am (and hopefully someone else out there.... Hellooooo! Echo, Echo, Echo).
2010 is coming to a close. Although I am somewhat optimistic about the future, that optimism is guarded. I am a little bitter about how guarded it is. I want to abandon my cynicism and enter the new year recklessly abandoning any common sense about managing expectations. But that's just not my style. Actually, forget about style... I am not hardwired that way. It's just not in me. I have to weigh reality against ideal and my nerves hang in the balance.
Marriage is wonderful. A beautiful wife of nearly 18 years and three awesome kids, and a mother-in-law in the basement. It was a package deal I guess. Much more to that story. Another time maybe.
Stay tuned for what is most certainly going to be an average ride!
Now THIS is going to be GOOD!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDarci, good may be a stretch. I would settle for completely average if I were you.
