So much , So Good!

Time away from here seems lie an eternity, so much going on in a a positive way and still trying to come to grips with being a grandfather to a precious little girl Aubrey! Terria back from Missouri on Tuesday with stories and so many great pictures of the baby, Ty and Mandy adjusting to the newness of parenthood and kissing their carefree youth goodbye forever, life is different from here on and the changes they will make over the years will become twofold as the baby gets older and in need of so much more.  I truly feel that they will be up to the challenge of being parents, they have to ths baby depends upon them to be that, to be the parents that were afforded Ty, at least from his mothers side and what little I could do as his step father along the way, we shall see but choices and many decisions will either make them or break them. Seems like forever since I've written here and feels like talking to an old friend or putting on an old pair of shoes, the familiarity is there and miss this place but have been emotionally busy with life and the goodness of some really cool things going on in my life, the new baby, the same wonderful wife and home life and really trying to stop and enjoy it all each and everyday, slowing things down a bit , a break from motorcycles and less Golf these day, better gym workouts and eating habits and some good old fashioned heart to heart conversations with Terria about this and everything in between. Things are really as they should be in my life, more awareness of not only spirituality but a newness of understanding the importance of the little things that had gone unnoticed before, the weather, the trees, a good book, or an article online or in the paper that makes me think more than I usually do, sometimes too much but nonetheless and never stagnant mind is a good thing for me. Keep using it or lose it I have grown to understand, the  life we have is so short and so fleeting that I try to enjoy the goodness in everything and stay away from the things  that are a detraction from this very goodness. The old cliche of stopping to smell the Roses every now and then truly applies here, so I will continue to slow it down and speed it up when necessary, I love my life and want to continue to embrace it for what it truly is, a life I wouldn't change one bit
