As I was contemplating my next post a funny thing happened to me that made me change my mind. I started to watch a movie that had a somewhat profound affect on me. If anyone has seen Seven Pounds you may know what I am talking about.

My wife of 10 years and I had a nice discussion afterwords that made us realize what is really important in life. Now let me just say that we have 6 yr old triplet boys Mikey, Ryan and Anthony.

Our lives changed forever.


Now getting back to the discussion. It all centered around the monotony of our everyday lives. Don't get me wrong because my wife and I do  have a very good life. Healthy children, good job, nice house etc... but it seems like we are always looking for more. We get clouded by the everyday routines that we forget what is really important. Suzanne, my beautiful and loving wife, seems to think that there is so much we are missing out on. A honeymoon we never had, exotic trips, etc...

After watching the movie I told her I was going to make a conscious effort in trying to make a difference not only in my families lives but also people who I may be in contact with. I first thought it had to be a big impact but I realized my life is not a Hollywood movie.

So I started out this week concentrating on doing little things that many of us take for granted. For example, I decided to get some one on one time with my son Mikey. It may not seem like such a big deal but for Mikey it was. He was able to get my undivided attention. This weekend I am sending my wife away with her friend to the mountains of North Carolina to spend the day shopping, going to the spa, etc...I am also going to be volunteering my time to help coach in the local youth sports organizations.

This is going to be an ongoing challenge especially with my crazy schedule but I am determined to make a difference. I have always felt that we are put on this earth for a reason but we sometimes need to be reminded. Life goes by very fast trust me with 3 little guys it seemed like yesterday I was changing 21 diapers a day and making 18 bottles of formula a day. This year they started Kindegarten.

There are a lot of challenges that AR advertises that awards points, but I am just asking to make a difference.

It is such fun to think of one thing that can be done each day to make a difference to at least one person.  What a mission.  Thanks.

I agree. So much to do & so little time to enjoy the people we love.
