A is for Appreciation.  Yes my first post for the A to Z Challenge will cause some Dads to think long and hard at what they are doing.

I’m doing this as I sit here writing this blog post as well.  In not at all perfect and I do A2Z-BADGE 2016-smallerstruggle to on a daily basis trying to be the best dad and husband that I can.

I have been noticing a lot of Dads writing and talking about making life choices and getting a divorce on social media.  I don’t know all of the reason nor do I need to know all of the reasons for your choices.  Most of the talk I hear is all self center and not noticing what they have until it is too late and someone or some child gets hurt by it.

Everyone needs to take a step back from what you are doing and appreciate what you have in front of you before it is too late.  Be happy at what you got and who you married because you did at one time or you wouldn’t be married right now.  Remember how precious and important your child or children are.

Because one day it can be over in a blink of an eye.  Life is too short to waste time and not appreciate what you got in front of you.  At the end, friends come and go but family stays together through the best and the hard times in life.  Your spouse will help you more often and be there for you if you show her or him appreciation.

Appreciation is one of the key words I don’t hear people say or talk about that much.  I mostly here it if someone is getting something from another person like a gift or helping someone do a task.

As I state that above, I do appreciate you stopping by and reading my blog post.  Feel free to comment below with your thoughts as well as your opinions about this post.

It’s April and it’s that time of the year again for the A to Z Challenge.A2Z-BADGE 2016-smaller

Again I’m going to blog in the A to Z challenge for the month of April.  It is exactly what it sounds like.  Starting with the letter A (April 1st) and ending with the letter Z (April 30th).

I’m hoping this will improve my writing skills as well as hoping for new viewers and new people to interact with about being a parent.  I’m going with the theme Parenting on my blog again this year and I will also have a link on top of my blog that will allow you to only see the A to Z challenge posts.  I had a few things that came up last year and I wasn’t able to finish the challenge, but this is a new year.

If you like to know more about this challenge then click here.  I’m also trying to start-up a podcast about parenting later this year.  This will hopefully happen in the next few months.

No, I’m not talking about the car commercial or music that has zoom in it. Today is the last day of the A to Z Challenge and the last day of April. This month has flown by so fast as well as this challenge. It was a fun trip and I enjoyed it as well as the comments from others during the challenge.

Since the challenge is now over my posts are going to be spaced out instead of being daily. I will try to post at least two to three times a week based on how many topics I can start writing about and what is happening in the news or in my life at the time.

I’m also looking for other parent bloggers or Dad bloggers to network with and to possibility of guest posting on each other’s blog. This could be a good thing if we are both trying to increase our viewership to our blogs.

I’m also looking into creating a podcast. I have a semi podcast outline that I created one day and now I’m thinking of it harder since it can boost your website as well as visitors. I’m not too sure if anyone would listen to it though. It will also help me be a better speaker since I need to be for my job at work. Please vote on the side bar of my page if I should or should not do a podcast.

Again I want to thank everyone who put on the A to Z Challenge and I hope we could do this again. I also have a dozen other posts I started creating and haven’t finished that I could use at a later time. I will also write a post on what to expect in the near future and when each topic will be scheduled to post on my blog. If you have any suggestions on what the topics should be, please feel free to leave a message below or contact me via my contact form.
