Feeling Good and Lovin’ Life

Today was the first day in a quite a while that I feel like I’m back in the rhythm. Holidays and vacation (not complaining) plus traveling for work and the a few voracious snow storms juggled up the routine.

Now I have been a home a few days and got things back in order. Mentally its probably very unhealthy to be so regimented but it seems to work for me and I feel very positive. I realize I should NOT let it bother me and I’m getting better at it. Must be cabin fever.

This morning I woke up around 4:15 and did a solid core routine followed by a 8 miler on the paths. I am in a totally perfect place right now. Perhaps its becaseu my family had a great evening. We tend not to watch much TV. We read and play games (yes video games like Wii and Guitar Hero) and do other family oriented activies and it realy make a person feel good. Talk about motivating.

What strange is that we do have all the things that people demonize. I drive a Jaguar in the winter and a Corvette in the summer. We have a hot tub home theater with a 110 screen and multiple rows of seats and have all the toys a person could want (PS3, 360, Wii blah blah blah). But really makes me happy is spending time with my family doing little stuff. Last night we spent about 1.5 hours color mandalas.

I don’t know, I’m just in a great place right now.

Time to make hashbrowns and bacon (turkey) for my boy as request right before bed. It’s the little things.

Oh yeah ……. DOMINATE!!!!!!!!!

Flyin’ to Kansas

On the flight headed to Kansas city MO. The ultimate destination is manhattan ks. We are going to be making product as a test.

This is my first day back to work after several days of vacation and the only solace is the fact that everyone here are in the same boat. Or plane as it were. I’ll be honest with you, it’s really tough for me to spend an entire week in the office. I like to break up the week with a little travel once and again. Getting on a plane on the first day back is perfect since it’s a very slow way to creep back into worklife.

Right now I’m on the plane flying southwest and using my favorite iPod app (Notepad). I’m listening to Leo and just learned the Google is gonna launch the Nexus 1 on Tuesday with tmobile.
