It's cold outside But ooh what a ride To the warmth of my igloo

Well its only half way through March, but due to unseasonably warm conditions here in the office, coupled with a good game of Extreme Ping Pong has brought upon us an early Slurpee season!  But as a Canadian is there such thing as a Slurpee season?  No no there really isn't, well for a true Canadian anyways. Now see here I am at a point where I could go into a deep philosophical discussion about being Canadian and what not... But nah I am to busy enjoying this Slurpee.

So drink a Slurpee its delicious.

Enjoi, Brain freeze? Ooowwww 

They will see us waving from such great Heights

Friend of mine often has very good questions that he brings up and sparks good conversations between the two of us. Most recently goals and accomplishments, having a sense of fulfillment in life and being able to feel proud of where one is in life and where they are going.


Everyone has goals in their life, but I am sure much like myself there are many people out there who have these goals and have failed to accomplish them. Maybe not failed completely, but look back at when they wanted these goals complete. I know with myself many goals have been delayed due to life being well life. But that doesn't mean I have given up on them!


So how does one feel fulfilled, feel proud and things of this nature? Well of course every one varies each having their own individual need's in respect to fulfillment and feeling proud. Through out life this will change as well we grow and learn and move from one goal to the next. Regardless of what we achieve, what goals we conquer or not the biggest thing I have learned is being able to look back at it all and just accept it. I say accept it because in everyone's life there are moments we are proud of and happy with and some that we aren't and that is life in itself. Acceptance of our past is important, one must not dwell on what is in the past. (Can't say if someone does or doesn't but I know in all honesty that I have.) Once I learned to accept the things in my past that I wasn't to proud of I was able to be happier with my past and see that there was a lot that I was quite proud of and I did indeed achieve some pretty awesome things in my few years in this world thus far.


Through it all I suppose the biggest thing with fulfillment is finding out what works for you and what you need. It may or may not be easy, might learn right away what you need or it might take you some time. But in the end it will work out and you will know what you need. Like my friend says

"Do what you need to do to stay happy" 

Which couldn't be more true!

So do it, and Enjoi.

All the fun that we have

It's a little shot of 7 am as I sit here at my desk, looking out into the darkness that is out the window. I strongly fight the urge at this moment to go on a rant about my fellow Canadians complaining about the cold and they have never seen it this cold going into March... I will admit it is pretty chilly this morning. However I swear everyone forget how long and what winter is like as soon as summer rolls around... Oh wait I said I WASN'T going to rant or rave... So moving along good people. 


Perhaps its update time? Not a bad idea. It has been a good 8 months indeed, this place I find myself in day in and day out is one that I am quite happy with. I have enjoyed many jobs I have had over the years but this one just seems to have that little extra. Almost like a sense of family here. It is a pretty fantastic office everyone so laid back and easy going makes life so much better to love coming into work every day. I mean why else would I have woken up at 5 am today? Well maybe if the furnace broke... But in that case I would probably just freeze to death in my sleep and not have been the wiser!


Of course there is the enjoyment of extreme ping pong every day, happy people surrounding me, good bosses who like me and everyone else here has a definite good sense of humor. All added to the awesomeness that is my job and well life. But to the more serious side of work, I enjoy what I do, yes I really do - We have been busy and I love that fact, by the looks of it there isn't much signs of slowing down either! Probably the reason I am here so early its a preemptive strike against the massive work load ahead haha.


I could continue to ramble on for quite some time I am sure, however I shall restrain myself. But know life is good in all aspects good family, good friends and a good job. Definitely lucky to say the least.


Oh Oh I will add one more thing - The beetle has a heart!!! Yes just like the Tinman finally. And here it is! Beautifully old 1500cc Single Port engine! Many of you will probably look at this and go "Huh?" But now there is hope that come spring that the 58' will not be the best looking pushable beetle around as a good friend of mine would say.

Enjoi the good in life.
