What a year will do

I’m popping in.  Checking in.  Trying to recall the password.

Perhaps I’m realizing that it’s time to make this something more permanent.  But I think one of the main reasons I don’t keep coming back is that I’m not entirely comfortable sharing so completely on the Internet with, in most cases, strangers.   Or maybe that’s what I tell myself so that I have an excuse not to do it.  It would be easier not to write, to forget the password and to never come back here.  But that is not what I need either.

I recently met with a counsellor.  “Oh NO!”, you’re thinking.  “Quick, quick, hit the back button.  Get me out!”

Don’t look so forlorn! It won’t be that bad.  It’s actually been a wonderful experience.  Taking the time to pop in. Check in.  I’m remembering the password for me.

You know that feeling you get when you see a very good friend you haven’t seen in years and you really connect with them.  The conversation seems to flow easier than it does with some of your newer friends and you feel – satiated.  Not overflowing but recalling that feeling of who you really are.  I’ve found the pathway in recent weeks.  I’ve been working my way back to the path from the ditch.  I feel different.  I feel like me.

I’ve wanted to just let this all plop out of me.  So I figure I’ll write the password to my blog backwards across my forehead and I’ll check in more often.

Rain

It’s January 25.  It’s raining today, like a mo-fo!  I’m not one to dismiss global warming, but a downfall like what we’re expected to get today surely must be an indicator.  When I woke up this morning this song was in my head and so I thought I’d share it all with you.  It’s off Hawksley Workman’s album Treeful of Starling (iTunes link).  This album, as far as I can tell, was recorded in Huntsville in an old school house that he fixed up on his own and turned into a recording studio.  It’s got to be one of my favourite Hawksley albums.  Enjoy!

The Sunday Post

There’s nothing quite like a Sunday evening at home. It was a wonderful weekend considering the sickness and colds that have been hanging around. I sit here fresh out of the shower, toys spread across the floor, blogging on my iPhone and drinking from a Nalgene bottle with a Heineken sticker on it. Ahh! I tell ya folks, nothing beats today, especially not tomorrow for I failed to mention the tickle in my throat. I am holding out though, I have faith that I will rise above the rivers of snot and the hacking and heaving of lungs. I will over come I tell you!! Also, some vitamin C will help. So please excuse me as I get some of that and sit down to a lovely evening of television with my lovely love, Kate (pictured below with Cameron, my eldest son). Happy Sunday Everyone!!

A rediscovered weblog

A few days back, as in almost a week, I decided to start a blog.  I then went to Blogger and set one up there but then quickly realized that Blogger is a piece of JuNk!  I knew that Wordpress would be where I would end up I then remembered that I once started a blog at Wordpress.  I typed the url in and lo’ and behol’, IT WAS STILL ACTIVE.  So I found my login info and, well, you know the rest.  I will update this blog as I see fit and tell you what I’m doing.  I’ve never been good at it, so you can all, whomever you are, suck it up and hope that I remember to update it.

How not to fish:

Have a look because it only gets worse!

Wordpress.com

Welcome to my corner of the universal web called the Internet. Ha ha ha. This is merely a test. I want to be able to post pictures of my growing family. My fiance, our expecting child, and our dog Nero. This is a test post for my new wordpress site. I’d just like to give a shout out to my big time lover, Kate. What do you think of this place?
