Day 6
 of my strive to be better campaign.
My oldest and i came up with a list of  cuss/swear/bad words that should no longer be part of my lexicon.
The F word, Sh*t because that sounds really ugly to me, and all the derogatory terms that could be directed at people. After being around friends and family and the language I realized how ugly it really sounded so off it goes.
Realized as I was writing this that day 6 bled into seven, which just about sums up how the year can slide by. 12 hours seems like an eternity but you blink and it's gone. So another reason to try to capture at least a little part to hold on a little longer.
The youngest left about 15 minutes ago and called to say the roads are bad. We got a dusting of snow on top of wet streets, which isn't great for driving.
Slip sliding away

Already missed a day.
Okay got that out of the way, and the world didn't stop. Doesn't have a major impact on my be better campaign for 2017, so I'll recognize the lapse and move forward. Generally speaking that has been my motto in life. Keep moving forward. I found that when I get stuck bad things tend to happen. Not to say that dwelling on a decision for a couple of days or looking back on events that occurred shouldn't be part and parcel, it's when that time becomes all consuming and you can't get past, that things go sideways.
My father has an uncanny knack for moving forward and I believe I learned it from him. I also learned that somethings are going to be out of your control and it may be better to not make a decision thane try to force the outcome you want.
My day ahead has a funeral for a family friend, and my attendance has been requested. First day back at work and to leave seems like a not so good idea.
I also believe that these are the moments in life that must be seized, work will be here but the chance to connect with some old friends from the neighborhood do not come around too often.  
The deceased has been ill for some time with Alzheimers and her passing was a blessing.

Keep Moving Forward

January 1st 2017

A fun filled evening complete with cheap champagne, board games and beer. A fairly typical New Years. 

The day started with a resplendent breakfast with all of the usual suspects. Afterward lively conversation followed with how Dad is going to be settled. Fan duel and football. 

So nothing seems to be radically different and in reality that's good. Small changes are in order which will lead to bigger changes, as far as health and quality of life. 

The future is right around the corner as it always is and as of today it's looking pretty good.
