Relationships: What matters most...
We allow life to be a distraction when in fact it is meant to be the attraction.
What is it to say "I know" when all that you have lived is but a small sliver of life's possibility?
Thankful for the gift of being a father...
There is not a day that goes by that I am thankful for the gift of being a father. A father so fortunate as to have three amazingly beautiful, giving and free spirited children.
There is not a day that goes by that one or all of my children remind me that I am human first and father second. It is my example, even though it is imperfect and my choices as well as how I embrace them each and everyday that says "you matter", "you are someone", "you have the right to choose" and no matter the outcome "you there will be a way", ...possibility is yours if you are willing.
I was never one to wish or hope for tomorrow with any of my children as today was always what seemed to matter most. I didn't want to compare as I found it to be a distraction and detraction from the their truth. All I ever wanted was to savor each moment, each thought shared, each laugh laughed, each tear cried and even those moment when we are challenged most.
I want for my children what I wanted, to see the best of me as I looked into the eyes of parents.
At 49 I realize no matter how long I live in my heart and soul there will always be a boy, just as my children will always be the same.
As I sit here contemplating and experiencing those many moments of time with my children and how fast life can happen I realize that it is those times with them that are indeed priceless. It is those moments that life is as rich as it gets.
A time to grow, a time to let go...
Perhaps it is time for me to let go of past hurts and to allow my wounds to heal and to give time permission to soften the scars.
Perhaps it is time to look ahead with hope instead of back with doubt and to reach out once and for all there is and learn just how far possibility can take me and those who are most dear.
It is time to dream again, it is time to live...
I hope you will join me as share this new adventure with you, as I put the past to rest and begin to choose consciously the life I want to live.
Remember, even though you may live long, there is no guarantee that those who are most dear will live to see tomorrow. Your willingness to embrace those who are most dear in the moment is what will determine the fullness of the life you left to live.
Remember it all starts with embracing YOU!
May you follow your attraction for life and live your life to it's fullest.
Until next time, be well and take care.
Talk soon,
James
As I like to say...
Possibility is not an accident, it's a choice.
