Today I learned . . .

Ok.  I admit it.  I'm a schmuck when it comes to blog writing.  In some respects it seems rather narcissistic to me.  However, these past few days, weeks, and months have just flown by with so much activity that any time for reflection has been crushed, let alone taking the time to put it in to writing.  However, I'm hoping to change all of that.

On Sunday, I did get such a moment of peace.  I was at church, my wife being home and barely able to walk.  It took all morning to get the kids there, and they were all in their classes.  I was sitting in the hallway with the baby, having just finished feeding him.  Ironically, it seemed the only place to find some quiet, (maybe they need to put in a "Father's" room, but I digress).  It was then that I realized something.  I'm always saying that "Any day is a good day if you learn something new."  Which is true.  I enjoy the discovery of things I didn't know before, ideas I had not considered, adventures I haven't experienced.  In that moment, I realized that I can't say I've really learned something unless I, at the very least, a. have written in down, and b. shared it with someone, even if it is in a blog with 1 devoted follower.  Fortunately I have a captive audience in my children who are just as curious as I am. 

So my objective, my requirement, my goal, my purpose, is to take some time each day and report on something significant, however small or large.  It may only make sense to me, and that's just fine.  Perhaps it will help restore my sanity.

God bless.
