Coins and other bruises...

Greetings!

As is my usual Sunday, I have spent today mostly relaxing which means I read the paper, called my dad in Detroit, and contemplated taking my dog for a 2 mile walk....but then it started snowing, so I nixed that idea.

I have been trying to watch TV, but I have grown tired of constantly walking outside to use the long handled brush to clear the Dish Network satellite receiver of snow. Nothing like pixelation whilst trying to watch shows on the Biography channel...only getting about 1/4 of the story of any given persons life! It's like on-line dating or something!!

So, I find myself here writing in my coin journal after checking my facebook page and returning some emails.

I COULD have gawked at my coins again, but for some reason I am finding my mood a bit somber, or is it tiredness that nabs me just now? Hard to say.

I am thinking about my ambitions regarding my coin journey for this year, and I am believing more and more that everything I want to set out to accomplish can and will happen.

I could not have even thought of writing this even a year ago as my working life usually interfered with anything outside of work that I ever wanted to do, I am starting to realize that maybe much of my life was spent too much worrying about career and not enough about why I have a career to start with...that is to enjoy regular life, hobbies, children, wife, spiritual paths, happiness.

I now have time to pursue all of this and somehow I feel a little guilt that maybe I am not working hard enough...it's a vicious circle!!

BUT happy is what I have become, and it is a strange feeling when you cannot say you have really been happy for a number of years, except for the fleeting moments of coin acquisitions and some superb grades on the submissions.

I am starting to realize more and more that there IS this thing called "life" out there and I can now even have one...and enjoy it, too.

So, my goals will be met this year. I will be finding time to commit to this hobby more than I have ever been able to commit to it, and I will enjoy it more than I ever could have imagined.

Thanks for reading this not so much of a coin post...but I had to write it. Peace!!
