Year in Review

Well this year has been a year. I mean it’s been 365 days. I mean 12 months. Anyways you know what I mean. I always like to reflect on the past year and hold myself accountable more. Whether I am happy with the results I accomplished or I take a long hard look of what I still need to work on. No one else will hold me accountable so it’s up to me to reflect and to adapt.

Successes.

• I published my first book.

• I did an artshow.

• I ran tough mudder again. (4x yessssss)

• I got a song on spotify published ( Precious One by R.F.)

• I had a birthday hahah 35 wooohooooo!

• I have been focusing more on balance between work, life and family time.

• Being more present with my prayers at mass and during the life. (not perfect)

• Consistently working out daily. ( I am a strong dude lol)

• Expecting our second child!!

Items to work on.

• Stop worrying about everything all at once.

• Trying to do to much too quickly.

• Work on my healthy eating habits more ( stop eating junk nonstop, and focus on heart health a lot more. I have the strength now need to focus on mind health and heart health.)

• Being present in the moment with family, friends, self.

• Working on my faith and prayer life more.

• Stick to my routines even when I lose motivation.

Now this isn’t everything I’ve accomplished nor everything that i messed up with. It is just some highlights that have been in my thoughts recently. I encourage you all to take a moment and think about the good, the bad, and the ugly in your life before the new year starts. A refection on where to go next. Happy New Years to everyone. Stay safe and get ready for your best year yet!!!!

P.S. Drink all the champagne… unless you are preggo, or a child, then don’t drink all the champagne, instead eat all the corn, and spam.

Time...

Today is my daughter’s first birthday and all I can say is,

“Man where does the time go?

I don’t think I am the first person to think this, nor will I be the last.

It’s funny to think that we complain how long it is takes to get home from work, yet a child’s whole year of living seems to move too fast.

Time hasn’t changed, its all in our perspective.

There is always 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year , and 10 years in a decade. Time is constant. It doesn’t change.

The memories will come and go and seem to be moving so fast, and there isn’t anyway to slow it down.

Keep living and creating memories with your family and friends.

My only words of advice to you is this:

Fill up as much time as possible with awesome memories.

Take that trip.

Do that thing you love to do.

Jump in the puddles.

Time is stubborn. It isn’t going to change, but how we fill up that time matters. Fill it up wisely.

Cheers,

P.S. If you see Addie wish her a happy birthday!!!!

Perspective is everything

1440 minutes in each day is crazy. We all have the same amount of time in each day yet we all use it differently. I waste so much time scrolling through lighted images on my screen and then complain that I have no time left in the day. “Where did the time go?”

Lately I have been especially bad at wasting time. I have just been in a daze, staring at the wall , and then I realize ”Shoot I just wasted an hour.” I don’t know if everyone goes through this, but i want to find a solution.

I think I may start to set my phone down far away from me before I get ready for bed and after I wake up from sleep. I won’t immediately go to my phone to check all my updates. I know this is going to be a challenge for me but I need to break the habit of wasting precious time. Maybe I’m going overboard on it, maybe not. The next few weeks I am going to push myself from aimlessly wasting time, to making sure I am being more intentional with my life, to ensure I have great days ahead. The self absorption is tiresome, and could be the reason why i feel sluggish and not productive.

Cheers to a life worth more than scrolling through digital images, and cat videos,
