All Good Things...

It goes without saying that life is too short.  In the grand scheme of things the average lifespan of a human being is all but the blink of an eye.  Every moment is precious.  Every moment is fleeting.  "What will be" constantly slips into "what was", and the boundary between these two states, the intangible now, is an elusive tease.  For those of us lucky enough to be content with what life has to offer, our collection of precious moments is a treasure trove.  Alas, all good things come to an end, and in my case I find there are fewer days ahead for our contented status quo than there are behind.  Change is inevitable, and it quickly approaches.  I look back at 2013, and I see now that it was the last year of good memories in what was the landscape of our contentment. Once 2014 passes, there may yet still be very good days ahead, more precious moments to create and experience.

Phase More

In the age before the dominance of Facebook, in the time before Twitter and Instagram, "ChriseloBlog" was born. It comes back now, at the turn of the tide...ok, a pointless LOTR Gandalf reference...

I forgot this piece of cyber presence was here, and I think I shall revisit this little diary, though I'm not exactly sure what purpose it serves for me now. I think it's pretty cool and scary that it's still here. 

When I last posted there were two kids, and now there are three. Noella is 12, Isabella is 5, and Lucas is 3.  A world of difference compared to 2009, and the world at large is a different place.  

More to come...why? I haven't a clue.  When will I post again?  Who knows, but for now I remember you are here, ChriseloBlog.
