...full of possibilities.

Sometimes an event can shake you, snap you out of what you think is reality, and wake you up to what is really reality. Such a thing can often re-align your priorities and at the very least, help you to see things a bit more clearly.

Of course such a thing does not necessarily alter your habits, the good or the bad ones, or change them for the better, but it can allow you to view them through a different looking glass...one made with appreciation, gratefulness and luck.

Such a thing occurs to me each time I hold Baby B, or feed him, and sometimes even when I change him!

Yeah, I am still fat, but I have not thought much about it over the past two weeks except for this one thing...I want to stick around for this show called parenthood...I like where it is going. In fact, I like where my life is going, and I don't want it to end just yet because I seem incapable of a silly thing such as portion management, or my love affair with an invention called mayonnaise!

The game has changed a bit, the motivation, desires and needs have been put on a different path... perhaps the methods and goals should as well?

Of course there is also the possibility that all of this is complete nonsense, just the ramblings of a weary dad pulling the night shift on feedings, burpings and diaper changes.

The world, hell the universe, is just full of possibilities.

Best Foods -- or Hellman's -- Light mayonnaise is remarkably good. I swear. Life wouldn't be worth living without mayo, and I'm sold on this stuff! (It may not be GREAT for us, but it's gotta be BETTER, right?)

So glad you're enjoying daddyhood now! And the angst is behind you. Whew!

I think that babies can really turn around our thinking. We do want to be our best for them!

I don't know if it's late night rambling; the first time I got really fit, is when I was pg with Pippy (at the ripe old age of 22) and decided I HAD to live forever.
