Changing Perspectives



It totally amazes me each day when I think about how the birth of a baby can completely change the way I look at the entire world!

My Pre-Connor life continues to fade quickly in the rear view mirror and I say Good Riddance!

Why would I care that my wife and I can't go on our usual nice vacation this summer? Punta Cana will still be there long after the last of the Pampers are stuffed deep in the Diaper Genie!

Why would I care that we don't go out to eat at nice restaurants these days? Filet Mignon will wait. The spit up on my shirt needs to be addressed right now!

The new car I had my heart set on will still be on the show room floor in a few years. The jogging stroller will be empty before I know it and no new car will ever compete with a trip around the block with the jogging stroller.

In the blink of an eye, (well, actually in the 10 minutes of an emergency C-Section) my life was turned completely on it's head, and I have to tell you.... Looking at life upside down is damn sweet!

Peace...

Very cool, Kevin! I love your new perspective.

I listened to Extra Mile this morning on my run and loved it!! I don't know how to do audio files though, so I'll mess around and figure somehting out. You'll at least be getting an email from me. I loved hearing everyone's report while they ran. How cool! Great job you guys! :)

What a great perspective! I completely agree. As I watch my kids grow I realize that I only have a short time left before they will be out and on their own. Helps me make the best use of today!!!

What a cutie!
