I’m excited for trick-or-treating with my boys tomorrow. It’s always fun to enjoy their boyhood excitement.
We are dressing up at our office with a 101 dalmations theme. Bryan will be Cruella De Vil and Dan and I are the henchmen. The rest if the staff will be dressing up as the Dalmations.
I’ll try and get the pictures of all our costumes up here soon.
Sinus infections and headaches are the only health ailments I seem to face most years and I have had both in the last few days. I think my body is trying to tell me I need more sleep. Tonight I bed at 9:15, I’m actually typing in bed right now and can’t wait to close my eyes. Goodnight!
I’m a “2nd-generation” Mac user raised on Apple computers from their birth, so you can imagine the pride I felt when my wife returned from a recent trip and reported that even though she saw the Apple store in a Texas mall, she couldn’t physically allow herself to go in. She explained, “I knew if I went in I would do something foolish and buy a laptop on your credit card.” You see, Apple released some sexy new laptops, and our house is really feeling the urge for an upgrade. All I can say is: Honey, I’m proud of you, and I admire your discipline!
There are many good things to do in life, and certainly many interesting ways to spend our days. If you believe in karma, or The Secret, the Law of Attraction, or in God—or in all of these—you will likely have experienced that feeling of reciprocity when you are involved in putting good out into the universe. You may even sense the moment of receipt. That goodness comes in so many ways. Tonight I was out visiting a family I watch out for (we have a fancy name for this in the LDS church called home teaching) and I really enjoyed it. What strikes me tonight is that home teaching is technically an assignment that we fulfill, however when we carry it out with purposeful intent and not just as another item on the to do list, and do so consistently, the rewards are palpable. Tonight I felt that as a wonderful sense of well being and happiness, a oneness, but that is just one expression of it. It reminds me of this quote, “You cannot do wrong and feel right” or conversely, you cannot do right and feel wrong. When you get that feeling, there is no sense of compulsion, no forced obligation, there is only the desire to love, serve and continue on in that feeling—all are uplifted.
Try putting your own good out into the universe, out into someone elses’s life, and keep doing it consistently, amazing things are sure to result.
Laying down a mix
This is a test of the new wordpress update to add photos and media files. Actually appears more robust then I expected.
This photo makes me daydream about a singing career or at least the dream of a successful singing career and the financial rewards that can follow! Alas I believe my eligibility for “Any Country” Idol expires at year end. Man I’m getting old!
