Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more upon it. -Albert Schweitzer

To all my friends and family, I just wanted to say thanks for all of your support. I wanted to start this blog as an effort to deal with some of the emotional and physiological stress that my wife and I have dealt since September. Some of what I write will be funny,some of it will be full of angst, and some of it might be really heavy. But I feel at this point it needs to come out and I really appreciate everyone's support with this. I hope you enjoy it!! By the way this is my new design and its currently under construction. I still need to work out the bugs with the links and such. We'll see how that goes!

Today is the first day of spring! The birds are chirping, the grass is growing, and the air is pleasantly warmer each day. Many things change during spring, for as all know it is the time for growth and discovery.

I have been pretty busy these last couple of weeks of unemployment. The Career Fair two weeks ago definitely lifted my spirits and gumption, and it feels great. On Monday I went to an all-day career workshop at CPCC. I listened to key speakers and career counselors discuss networking, motivation, resumes, interview tips, and emerging industries for about seven hours. Completely worth it! I have a sense of purpose now, and I really feel like I can beat this thing. I am building tools and networks, and utilizing good advice. I really don't care if it takes one week or five, because I am doing it the right way. I know that good things will come from all of this. Maybe it is spring? Maybe its that feeling that the cold unforgiving wind is finally over? Whatever it is, I am going to "Keep on Pushin!!" Next week I have a pretty solid week of meet and greets, career fairs, and seminars. And that's what I am going to do each week. Wish me luck!
