A Willow St. Christmas!

December 21, 06

I'm posting to day from Willow St. PA. After a cross country trip on planes, trains, and automobiles, we arrived at the folks Willow St. homestead. My brothers, with their wives and children are converging in from their various locals. A few members are still slated to arrive in the next day or two. As expected the year or two we have spent apart is bridged with ease. What a blast to catch up with each other!

I am blessed beyond measure to be one of a many brothers and two sisters. 10 is such a great number! Thanks mom and dad!

Is your life a Gift?

It's been a month since I last wrote. Time marches on.

What have I been doing in the between time? Switching places of employment, playing around with my new web cam that my wife bought me. It's really fun to play around with. I'm planning to post a video or two here but I haven't taken the time to go through the full tutorial yet.

I watched "The Devil Wears Prada" staring Meryl Streep & Anne Hathaway last night and the story really made me think about my own journey and where I am. I'm working to pay the bills not doing the job I love. I think this blog is about searching for what that ideal job is for me. The job I'm put here on this earth for. and Since I haven't found what I'm looking for yet, I'll keep searching.

Speaking of searching.... We had a friend stay with us who is moving to Colorado and she has invited us to stay with her. To check out relocating there to live. My wife and I agree it might be a great place to live. It would be next spring. and what would I do there? Massage Therapy seems to keep coming up. It is calling out to me. But my rational mind says I can't raise a family on it, can't afford the schooling, etc...

Any massage therapists out there that can give me advice? I think I need to get out of my comfort zone and face my fears! Kind of risky Yikes!

I just spent a couple hours chatting with one of my brothers. check him out at http://www.hiramring.com/ He rocks!

What are we here on this earth for? To share the Gift inside us with others as a blessing.

Websters dictionary says this: regarding the word GIFT.
WHAT IS YOUR GIFT? and does it bless others?
