warm feelings

There are so many times in the day that I find myself a little stressed, or frustrated with one thing or another. Most recently, my birthday. Not this particular birthday coming up, but I'm going to be 40 soon. 40!! It doesn't seem real. I accepted 30 with no problem, but I guess life has just accelerated what with having kids, 2 jobs, a mortgage, etc. But it is nothing when you see these eyes staring at you, smiling, giggling, hugging you. Then he does all those things and I remember why we live, why we love, because we can! because it feels good, and bad. I get warm feelings when I think of my family, they are so beautiful to me. My wife, my 2 sons and if things get a little better, maybe, just maybe we might introduce a puppy into this crazy family. But for now, we enjoy what we have.
