Ahhhh... what to post today? Things are well in my world lately. Home life is wonderful! I’m enjoying so much being an integral part of my daughter Amy’s life. She’s going to be four in a month. She’s growing up. My little girl is growing up. And I am so glad to say that I’ve always been there along the way. Dropping off at school, picking up at school then going shopping with her, taking her to the park, taking her to breakfast, or just playing outside with her and her friends. I love to make her laugh. Her smile intoxicates me. Because of this, I’ve really become a real goof-ball and silly-willie ever since she started talking and being more independent. I just plain LOVE having fun and being silly with Amy!!

My practice has really helped me be a better father. I can practice mindfulness and really BE THERE for Amy on a moment to moment basis. Suddenly it’s not so much about what I’m missing out on by not having time to myself, but more about enjoying life as a father and daughter. Exploring this aspect that is so much my reality now has become so much more important than furthering my career by spending hours in the office playing with the latest technologies and gadgets in the world of software engineering and computers. Yeah, I still like that stuff. But it’s not my life like it used to be. My life is being a dharma practitioner, a father and a husband.
