sunshine, peeps and lillies

Every spring I am driven to madness. Frustrated with myself for the things I haven’t done. Good intentions, without ambition, can quickly become regrets.

It is a strange feeling to be happy and content with my life (wonderful wife, happy kid, good job) and to also be restless, dying for something exciting to happen.

I am amazed that I found someone who is as restless as I am. We weren’t built for mundane. We can’t afford anything else. Funny how life can work out that way.

So, before summer ends and another year passes, I want to be able to look back and feel a tinge of accomplishment. Just a tinge, because I will be going mad again by spring, frustrated and longing for more. To be honest, I don’t even know what I am looking for, and probably wouldn’t know if I had it.

In the meantime I will enjoy my little family and how much all three of us are searching for something exciting, colorful and brand new in our lives. It wouldn’t be worth finding without them.

I'm lucky. I find getting a haircut exciting so I'm easily amused. Safety first.
