Enjoying some extended time away from the office and with my family this Holiday season. I’ve been able to catch up on changing my fair share of diapers and some early morning feedings with my son, Kash, who recently turned one year of age. My wife could not be happier to get a little more relief than she usually gets. My daughter, Reese, turned the ripe old age of five the day after Christmas and told me she did not want to grow up. Needless to say I did not discourage this idea. We’ve exhausted ourselves wrestling and singing Christmas carols while she’s taught me the finer points of “Polly Pockets” and “High School Musical”. Blessings to you for a remarkable 2008 as a “Purple Cow” parent! Make a resolution to spend more time with your spouse and your children and less time watching TV, surfing the Internet, or working more hours at the office. No one on their death bed wishes they had spent more time working. I’ve never attended a funeral where income, promotions, and career accomplishments were shared in the eulogy. Its all about their relationships and their impact as a parent, spouse, sibling, son or daughter, and friend to those they’ve loved and left behind. Live remarkably and love your family deeply each and every day in 2008. Happy New Year!
