Reset

Life is good.

As my last blog indicated, the family has moved into our high rise apartment with a stunning view of downtown. Actually the boys room has the best view and my youngest and I spot landmarks all the time. It's a fun little game to see a landmark during the day and then see if we can find it after dark. Meanwhile, on the balcony, the view is panoramic and west facing. A few nights ago, a thunderstorm approached and I grabbed my camera and tripod to try to get some storm pictures. It didn't work out that time because it wasn't that kind of storm, but I'm going to get some good stuff soon because I have an incredible vantage point.

Then on Friday, my daughter graduated from high school with not one, but two diplomas. The second was because she completed some college coursework while in high school. Our state recognizes how hard that is and rewards accordingly. And as I was sitting in the audience, I heard so many good things about the school itself that I'm glad we attracted that institution to us for her education. Nearly 80% of the graduates go to college. Of those, over 60% get scholarships for their higher education. With those numbers, success seems to be built into everyone that attends.

I'm grateful for the events of the past couple of weeks and I wanted to make sure that I acknowledge that. And it keeps getting better. For example, what a kick it is to now be able to walk to work. Rather than being the guy that seethes while sitting in traffic because a fender bender slowed my progress or being the guy that hopes he can make it to work despite the fact that he forgot to fill up his tank the night before, I enjoy the cooler morning air as I stroll past coffee shops and bagel places, stopping in if I want for a quick breakfast.

I told my wife that I'm not much of a suburban guy where you have to drive to the library a mile away. Now the main library is right across the street. When I visited with the kids, it was like being in a bigger, better stocked book store where they weren't looking for me to give them money. The library can be liberating that way and if you haven't been in a while, it might be worth a trip, just to take it all in.

With what's been happening lately, I feel blessed. My growing understanding of the Law of Attraction has helped me shape the life I want. I wish the same for you. This post isn't designed to teach or even share a personal experience with the Law of Attraction. It's more of a reset to say that I'm living how I desire and you can do it, too.

Reset your own life and remake it in the image you want.
