It has again been a long time since I posted. It does take a grwat deal of commitment to keep putting your thoughts down on paper. I have changed my method and gone back to journaaling to express my thoughts to myself. My good friend Emma Baranowski showed me a notebook where she intended to write what she was grateful for each day. I thought this such a great idea that I started a book of my own. To sum up about sixty entries since last winter: I am gratefull for my wife and family. Nothing I do in this world would have any meaning without the future my children carry in their hands. Thanks to Paula Ciszewski for reminding me of this today. The future is what we are all working on in one way or another. If this is not true, you don't understand your importance in this world. You have two paths in front of you, make your world a better place, or choose to not work on the future. To me this is the basis of meaning for my choices (OK most of the time, I am human...)
