The Lucky Man

In Irish Gaelic, Fear Ámharach means "Lucky Man". For those who followed my previous blog experience, this is a big change from being an Amadáin, or "Fool". I've come to the realization that the human experience is short; too short to be spent in misery. Rather than wallow in self doubt and unhappiness, I've decided to embrace the joy that life has to offer. I've decided that every day that I am gifted with is going to be better than the day before. Every day is going to be the best day of my life. I'm enveloping myself in the love of my children, the love of my family, the love of my friends, and the wonders of the world around me. Appreciating every breath, every breeze, every sunrise and sunset. I'm committing myself to giving the love that I want to get in return, with the knowledge that no energy spent on giving love is wasted energy. I walk from my past a better man, looking to the dreams that I nurture for the life that lays ahead of me. I will continue to try to become the better man; the man that my children deserve, the man that my family knows that I can be, the man that someday my soulmate will find by her side. I wake up each morning with a laugh in my throat and a smile on my lips because I know. I know that I am a lucky man, fortunate indeed.
