It has been a while since I've had
something to say, as January was somewhat of a frantic month. As a husband
and father with a full-time job, my free time is somewhat limited and it
is only once all house chores have been done, homework checked and kids put
through bath and bed that I have time to myself. As mentioned in my last post,
I have set out to accomplish a number of things this year, under which I
resolved to compile a mobile app. This has occupied most of my time, as I have
been collecting data, building a web page and planning the operational aspects
of the app itself. I am pleased to announce that it might just be ready for
release in time to meat the deadline I set for it. I have to set deadlines for
myself, and drastic ones at that, else procrastination creeps in and sucks the
life right out of my ventures. (Rule number one for breaking into a skate
park... throw your skateboard over the fence)
That has also only
been the half of it. Tragedy struck our family recently with the passing away of my
mother-in-law. She suddenly and very unexpectedly passed away, leaving us
somewhat bewildered and very sad at the same time. This has been an incredibly
harsh time for us. Most of my family live close to us and we see each other
regularly. This if course means that her passing will leave us with an immense
void that simply can not be filled. My next post will be a tribute to my mother-in-law. She was a woman close to my heart and I will gladly share some of my thoughts and emotions regarding this remarkable lady.
There has also been some good news. Friends of mine who have been struggling to fall pregnant have finally received the good news that they will be parents soon. Life is just full of surprises. There is sweet with the bitter.
As you can see, the first part of 2014 was hectic, to say the least, but more about that later. This is then where I leave this post.
God bless.
