As I sat down today to relax, I came to the realization that it had been quite some time since I have added anything to this blog.  Given today’s celebration, I decided it would be a perfect opportunity to offer an explanation.Realize that this is in no way a complaint.  I wouldn’t have my life any other way.  I have just been too tired for the last month.  After our move in September, I got very busy with work.  At the present time, Team Connections is working with three different companies developing training manuals.  On top of that, the past 6 weeks has been spent going through the final edits to the book that Lyn Christian and I have been writing (due out early in 2008).  Frankly, by the end of the day, I had no inspiration or energy to put any more words on paper, let alone see if any of it made sense.  I love it.

 I am thankful for my life.  I guess the best way to describe it is to say that I am grateful for the absence of needs and the presence of wants.  Since leaving AdvoCare last March, we have cut our expense by more than half and still don’t really have any needs that we can’t meet.  We could probably cut it even more and still not really miss anything essential in our lives.  This doesn’t mean that I have stopped wanting earthly goods, luxury, or just plain “more of everything” in my life.

So what do I want?  I want the challenges.  I want to be tired at the end of the day  because I know I will sleep well and wake up excited by the challenges of the next day.  Bring it on.  I just hope I’m up for it.
