I Completely Understand
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of watching my daughters 14U All-Star softball team compete in the Southern California State B Championship. It was an amazing weekend, and it gave me some alone time with my daughter, which I rarely if ever get. I learned what an independent little lady she has become and what and outstanding person she is growing into.
However, that wasn’t the only lesson that I learned. Continue reading “What I Learned From 14U Girls Softball”
My move is “almost” complete. I have over a month to get out of my current residence, but our new home is waiting to be lived in. Yesterday, with the help of family and friends, we nearly completed the moving process. And just like every other move, I realized how much crap I really have. My garage is full of plastic boxes that either house child memories, or T-Shirts that never got printed on. Continue reading “A Full Day of Moving”
I’m excited to announce that the Hasselkus family has moved. Well sorta. We will maintain our residence 19 blocks away until the house sells, but we’ve moved to a nice three bedroom house in Costa Mesa. Our new crib is perfect in all the right ways. Newly remodeled, plenty of space and made for entertaining. It also has a very large yard which Baxter can’t get enough of.
More on this, with a photo gallery as soon as all the furniture is delivered and we get set for our house warming party. Since we now have a bocce ball court, I think we are going to schedule this for when it’s a tad warmer. It should probably take us that long just to iron out all the kinks that come with a newly redone home.
We are excited to move in and invite our friends and family in to enjoy our lovely home.
I’m not one of those people that marks the New Year as a time to look back and analyze past failures, and then fill my head with optimism that the next calendar year is going to be better. Often times these “resolutions” never get accomplished and I’m forced to realize yet another failure. I’m not putting myself through that this go around. Instead I’m going to set some goals and make them realistic.
Here are a few of my goals for 2018: Continue reading “I Don’t Do New Year’s Resolutions”
It’s amazing what a difference a year can make. This time last year I was absolutely dreading the holidays. This year I was thoroughly looking forward to them. Getting rid of negativity and surrounding ones self with positive and healthy relationships is a great way to look at your life and realize that you can make positive changes in the smallest of ways that will have gigantic outcomes.
How did I do it you may ask? Here are some of the changes I made that allowed me to smile and bring myself joy and not depend on the mood of others to make myself happy.
2014 wasn’t such a bad year. For me personally it was most likely the most rewarding year I’ve had in several. There were too many great events to list, but one of the more significant was meeting my wife and marrying her. Although I told myself I’d never get married again, I also found that putting limits on anything is a bad idea.
So here we are, a new year and fresh with new opportunity. Already my business has picked up right where 2014 left off. Busy, rewarding and with a bright outlook for the future. With the coming of the new year, I had a chance to reflect on the prior year so that I could change some of the misfortunes into something a bit more positive. One of those things I’d like to change is how I mix my personal life with my work life.
