Thinking Ahead...

I took a look at my original blog posted @ www.fromthedeskofromil.blogspot.com and realized that my first ever blog entries ever on blogspot occurred around this time in 2008.  Time flies.  In a moment I am there in Toronto saying goodbye to my friends promising that I would back within a year.  Just needed to get away and sort out my life. Blink my eyes.  Here I am married and with a baby on the way.

The infamous Banff Fox Hotel

As I look across to the Fox Hotel from our living room, many thoughts tip toe through my mind.  How far have I come? Is this it?  If it is. It isn't bad.  It is a noble calling to be a good father and husband.  My generation's hold on youth is fading quickly and it will be up to the next to take their stab at life.  Should they be a force for good - well that, at least at this stage, is up to us. Thank GOD, we are not alone..

A new work week begins tomorrow.  I go back to war.  I still am in wonder when I think about what I have learned about the world out there in the past 7 years since I officially joined the work force.  I hope there is a way that I can transmit this to my child before they decide where to focus their education.  I will make it my mission for them to understand that we all will have to work one day and at least with education they can decide where they labor for their livelihood.

Lord knows what will happen next.  I do worry sometimes. But God has been good.  Prayers have been answered.  And by this I mean answered in ways even better than we expected...

So grateful for these moments...
