The Begining

Well this is my first attempt at a blog. I hope that this will serve as a place for me to pose the questions I face in life. Please feel free to comment, criticise or ignore at your pleasure. I only ask that the conversation remain civil and the ideas genuine.

I write this while sitting up after a long day of being a single father. My wife went out for the day with friends. I am struck by the amazing power a parent has over the life of a child. How they view the world, themselves, and others is largely crafted by the role a parent plays. are we locked into the mistakes of our parents destined to make the same mistakes from generation to generation? I do see many of my parents short comings in my own parenting style, but like all parents I hope that I find a way to make my children healther and more successful than I. Will my children look back as I do at times and wonder who would I be if my parents had not done this or that. I am sure they will but in the end would I really change a thing that brought me to where I am today.

Tomorrow is my 10th wedding anneversery. I do not know what the next 10 will bring but my prayer is that I grow as much or more in the next decade as I have in the last. Here's to learning how to live through experience, mistakes and successes.
