Life is Sweet

Life has been sweet of late, I'm feeling better about every aspect of it. I owe it all to the best girl in the World, Jessica Joan Marie Dwyer... She brings out the best in me, and I'm in love with every part of her.

I know, Love is a big word for such a young relationship, barely a month we have been dating. But I know in my heart that love is what it is. I've lost the capability to picture anyone else in my life, or in my future. It's such a powerful thing to have found someone like her, it gives me goose bumps when I think about how lucky I am.

I think we are starting to settle into the relationship now, realizing that is a strong connection that we have and that we don't have to worry about things so much. We've invested heavily into this in the last month or so and are already reaping the rewards of that. Now we can start integrating our regular lives back into our time. Friends that might have felt abandoned should know that we were building a foundation, something the rest of our lives will hopefully be built upon, and that was important. We've both agreed in the importance of friendships, both individually and as a couple.

It's a new chapter in my life, a new beginning with endless future ahead. I'm looking forward to this new found purpose and guide in my life, and I hope others are looking forward to seeing me happy and focused.

Someday when I'm relaxing on the front porch of my Tuscan ranch house overlooking my vineyard and watching the horses roam the field, I'll look back and know that this is when life started. And I'll have someone to share that wonderful feeling with.


Thanks for reading,

Peace and long life.

This needs some updating

So I never did NaNoWriMo... big surprise, but my schedule just never had time for serious writing. I kept busy with friends and family. Since Andrew and Philip moved down in September and Graham and Karen moved to town last summer, family has been a big thing. My friends play a big part in my life, keeping me sane from all the stress of school.

The biggest (and best) news however is that I have met a wonderful woman named Jessica that I'd like to spend every waking (and not waking) moment with.

I feel I've been neglecting my friends some what over the last month or so, as various things came up and then I met Jessica. However I feel it's very important to invest my time and energy in building a strong relationship with Jessica right now, and my friends will have to understand that. I have spent some time with them in the last few days, so thats good I guess.

I've been feeling like a new person lately, feeling more positive about myself and my life. I'm smiling a lot more, and feeling happy and relaxed. I've even lost weight since Christmas, which is a big thing for me.

I'm finally thinking my life is on track, and things will be all right.

It's Valentines Day tomorrow, and for the first time in about 10 years I'm excited about it. All the hearts and flowers and chocolates that would've brought me down a year ago are making me more happy.

I read a great book yesterday "tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. It has a simple premise, "an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson". It's the story of the author reconnecting with his favourite professor from college, after discovering the professor is dying of ALS. They share 14 Tuesdays as he flys from Detroit to Boston just to spend time with him, working on their final thesis which is this book.

If you read just one more book ever, this one should be it. Very touching, and many great lessons about everything to learn in those pages.

Thats a pretty big update on my life right there, so if anyone is reading I would love to hear from you. Whether you tell me I'm too sappy, or you tell me you're happy for me, or if you just tell me I spelled something wrong... Just tell me.
