A New Routine...Again.


Well the sun is shining, frogs are croaking and the geese are back to stay, I hope.  Work is back in full swing and I find myself trying to get into a new routine once again.  There seems to be a shortage of time most days and the evenings and weekends go way too fast.  With Kayden playing on two soccer teams, track and field, kung fu and just everyday life stuff, Sunday is our family’s only day of rest or so we try. It seems once I feel I kind of have things figured out they change and I get to start all over again.

As mentioned in our last meeting, the two things we can count on are that we are going to get old and we are going to die.  The past couple of weeks I’m kind of feeling the getting older part a little bit more.  Nothing seems as easy as it did in my 20’s and there seems to be many more creaks and crunches with any movement.  With all that being said I’m even more certain that I need to change how I do a lot of things, many that I have just done without much thought up to now.  My job is physically demanding and has me needing to find new creative ways to accomplish some things.  I love what I do.  Being outside is the best office in the world and dealing mostly with plants is a pleasure; they never talk back and offer no drama. 

So as I try to develop a routine that is sustainable without going a little crazy, I am enjoying this time of year.  Best sound in the world is frogs croaking and kids laughter, best smell is fresh cut grass and the best view is the new life of everything around me coming back from the long winter.
