Blogging for fame and riches

Questions and thoughts unedited mostly

What a strange night, thunder in the distance, wind swirling, flashes from the sky and off in the distance in plain view is the glow of a fire burning in cave creek. Why else would I be up this late.
 
I have a good friend that has been helping me analyze some of my moods because like many folks I wake up often in the morning and subconsciously ask myself some questions that probably don't put me in the best frame of mind. In addition, he has challenged me to come up with some better questions the install into my morning wake up routine that will empower me and start me off in a positive frame of mind.
 
What is hilarious is that when I started thinking it became apparent that these subconscious questions weren't just in my morning routine, but throughout most every moment I am awake.
 
Here are some of the funny ones most of us might be able to relate to.
 
Will I have time to stop by Starbucks! with a tone of part panic, part hope, part desperation and part doubt.
 
Is there anything to eat in this house? Anything good enough to tempt me to the kitchen prior to the shower?
 
Why do I feel so tired?  Cause I stayed up blogging. Well should you really question your brain to come up with reasons that will simply make your more tired and potentially frustrated. Unless you intend to solve, diagnose and prevent some problem. In most cases this might not be the most constructive of questions.
 
What is programs are broken at work? What messes do I have to mop up?
 
I continued with about 40 more questions like this that I could list of, but I will spare all the details.
 
Now as my friend mentioned I need some new questions. So here are are few.
 
How can I help to make today a better day for some folks.
 
What are a few good, positive and empowering questions I can ask myself today?
 
Is this good for the company?, he he, couldn't resist for the office space folks.
 
What are the kids gonna learn, do and see today that they haven't before? How can I continue to nurture them and help them explore their world while having fun.
 
What will my wife do today, like she does every day that will make me fell like the luckiest man alive? Will it be a simple smile? Will it be a story from the past I have never heard. Will it be one of the amazing things she does on a daily basis that shower our kids with love? Will it be a revelation about me that I needed but coulnd't discover without her help.
 
What about this day will be new and exciting? The sky, the sunset, the joke I hear on the way to work. The girl in the red dress 'from the matrix' for those of you who have seen it a bunch of times like me.
 
What will I do to continue to demonstrate the character that was built from being raised in great home with great parents and adventurous and loving brothers and beautiful sister.
 
Off to catch some z's.

Riley rolls over!

Last night Riley rolled over all on her own. That is quite a milestone. Hanna also had quite the accomplishment this week, but I am not sure how much detail to give on that subject. Lets just say she sure does love to flush! She also knows exacty where VHS tapes go. She doesn't realize that they are only supposed to go in a certain way. Prince of Persia sands of time 17%.

mike out.

Fathers day coming up and the Immortal blog post

What shoudl I get dad? I'm guessing the Village Inn gift card is as good as anything.

The blog became immortal yesterday when Shannons friend Tiffany did a google search and it pulled up my blog. Specifically it pulled up my romantic and touching post wishing Shannon a happy b-day. Just as the girl in the Shakespeare poem 'Shall I compare the to a summers day" was immortalized by that poem. Now Shannon is immortalized by the blog post.

That should score me some points eh!

PS. to access all pictures hosted by flickr on my blog at www.blog2inpire.blogspot click on one of them and it links to flickr where are the uploaded photos are.

Have a good day
