Uniqueness

Greetings y'all :

Windows were open all night and got down to 55f. It's funny how that's cause for an extra blanket this time if year but in the spring it means sleeping atop the covers. Seriously though this is one tough morning to break from snuggling with Z . I love my job and co-workers ( I consider the "students" my teachers and since we all strive to achieve they are my co-workers as well.) But let's face it I'd rather spend time with my offspring. He grows every day.

Yesterday Z cleaned his room while followed his directions. He had to plan and predict where to put things. He'd then had to consider how soon he'd use things sort , purge, and in general took ownership of his domain, his ship.

Naturally like any self respecting domestic god Z decided we needed to bake after that. He chose a new recipe for cinnamon swirl bread. Yummy! Needs some tweaking but what in life doesn't ? It still tasted delicious especially with the left soup he made. He spoils his old man.

He did watch a few minutes if football but realized it didn't matter. Lots of money and stress over something that is not reality. It's a great way for people to unite and forget about reality for a few hours, provided they realize it's not reality.

We wanted a hide away stay in day. Therefore we did a bunch of reading, playing and had two twenty meditation sessions. That was amazing, humbling and precious. Yeah I'm man enough to see the beauty in the wee small things.

Like I said it was cool night but great for sleeping! I woke up thus morning at what seemed like a logical part of a dream. Not the end of the dream but end of a chapter, knowing the dream will continue. The last words I heard were - every child , every person is different. Ok I knew it was a dream because I was married to a wonderful woman and he had a blended and extended family. We discussed if giving children a room full of things helps it hurt the child. But what is too much and what is too little? We decided values and character are the best things to give. The children will appreciate what they have rather than pine for what they want. (no I hadn't indulged in alcohol yesterday)

Folks tis time to bid my semi-daily adieu. I'll leave you with he latest Zander quote, this one came from a little voice in the shower " daddy can you bring me my goggles so I can keep the soap out of my eyes?"


Thanks for reading folks.
