Daughters.

My wife and I have two daughters: Gabriella, age 4, and London, 2 months old. It has been an incredible journey thus far and I can plainly see the road stretched out before us. But man, is it scary.

It doesn't occur to you how tough and frightening parenting is until you are face to face with the moon at 1:00 a.m. in the cool spring night (or morning technically). It stares at you and forces questions to the top of your brain...no, more like it DEMANDS answers.

Questions like:

"Will someone ever hurt my girls?"

"Are my girls going to become famous?"

"Will my girls hate me, or love me unconditionally?"

"Will I be healthy enough to see them grow up?"

This is only a fraction of the things that race through my mind. As morbid as some of this may sound, I am confident that any parent has thought these things at some point in their parenting career, and some worse things I'm sure.

But the best thing we as parents can do is soldier on, and take each day as it comes. Some things we worry about we have no control over, thus we can't allow these thoughts to consume us. Use that energy to live in the moment and most of all...

Love those kids with every ounce, every single drop that you can muster. Everything.

Sometimes

I created this blog as an alternative to Facebook and all the other social networking sites. I have become a bit complacent in regards to these sites for various reasons, so I decided to switch it up a bit.

Welcome.

I invite you in and thank you for taking the time to share my thoughts, ideas and musings.

My name is Kurt. I am married to a wonderful woman and together we have two beautiful girls. It is tough sometimes during the day to day process, but through writing, thinking and contemplating I am able to relieve some of this stress.

I am a poet at heart. Within my mind a thousand poems stroll by daily, and I am lucky to catch one of those and put it down on paper. Hopefully I can share some of this writing with you and you can share some of your thoughts with me. I have struggled within the past year or two to stick to a writing regimen because of work and family, but I have a grand plan to change all of that. We shall see.

So again, welcome and thank you. Let's see what I can come up with.
