I mean a little boy is sleep upstairs and he is my child. Amazing. My wife has been home with him everyday of his life, and we have not missed a beat. Amazing. My father has survived trial after trial-and he and my mom were here on Christmas Day. Amazing. I really love and cherish my wife...I mean we are cool, and I like her. It sounds like why is that special you should, but well, yeah considering the world. Amazing. Thank you God for all you do for me. For us. For us all.
I can't believe the year is almost over. It seems like every year we say the same things, make at least one or two of the same resolutions and promises...but it all feels the same yet different each time we get to this point in the year. Christmas is like the climax of every year. New Year's is just that last party before graduation, but it is basically a wrap. Still, 2011 was progressive and quite enlightening. The creation of life is like the most basic principle of existence yet it cannot be easily understood. Even watching my child grow and adapt is like too much to even take in. The changes are so dramatic and so rapid...frighteningly beautiful.
So if nothing else, 2011 has taught me to slow down...listen, observe and relax. It is more to it than what you see, hear, touch, feel...say. There is more to this whole thing, this whole life and existence paradigm. 2011 opened me up to this new vision for myself, my family and everything around me. The people are changing...some becoming parents and others more career-focused than ever before, but still more of who I relate to than others...just growing more with folks. Ties are stronger and expectations are different.
