New Blog Announcement

I'm starting a new blog: a project on and for myself. I call it Reclaiming Zen, and it discusses how I once was, am now, and will be -- calm, centered, and filled with the enjoyment that life offers. It will also deal with the realistic difficulties in living a "Zen" lifestyle, which is mostly, for me, dealing with the children, although many of the everyday challenges of life and hopefully their brighter sides will also be there regularly. I definitely don't intend it to become a blog about the kids (if I make a blog about them, I'll probably call it "Blame the Children!").

I hope to present not just stories about how I deal with the kids and my life at-large there, but also tips for finding the state I once enjoyed deeply and am aiming to find again. Believe me: there is a good life that can be lived, no matter who you are, once you master perspective. A while back, I managed it, and I believe it is the main reason that I was lucky enough to meet my wife (who is kind of the star of this blog). Though it's a lot of work, and possibly hard work depending on your situation, I remember how I did it and intend to do it again, this time better than ever.

I personally invite each and every one of you to join me on this adventure if you're interested or like what I've got to say. The flavor will be different, but I think the content will be all the richer.
