Hi boys.
I woke up excited this morning! I'm going to China!
I didn't go to sleep this excited last night. In fact, I went to sleep exhausted and agitated and nervous. I was exhausted because I haven't had much sleep in the last few days. I was agitated because I had one of the worst travel days yesterday that I've had in my career of travel days. I was nervous about the long flight to China and how I will survive it.
But that was last night. Today is a new day. I woke up excited! My hotel was two blocks from the ocean, and I got to stop and take some sunrise pictures over the Atlantic Ocean- including this one. That made me feel good.
Life is like that a lot.
We have bad days in our house. Boy, do we! We get angry and frustrated about things. We say things we regret to each other.
We make mistakes, every day of our lives.
But, the good news is that every day is a new day. A new fresh opportunity to have a good day.
Make that your attitude. Wake up every day expecting it to be a good day.
Say a prayer to God as soon as you wake up to thank him for the new day he is giving you.
Say "Good Morning Mom" with a smile and a hug.
Every day at school is a new day as well. Go each day expecting to learn something new and to enjoy your friends and your teachers.
Life is good - mistakes and all. Enjoy each new day. And make the most of your opportunities each new day.
I'll be gone a long time - almost two weeks. But I love you and I'll be thinking about you each day as I travel. I'll have stories and pictures when I get home.
I'll see you when I get home.
Love you both. Dad.

I had a traveling dad. I can't express to you how much this probably means to your boys that you write them like this. If not now, when they are older. They will appreciate that you have done this for them.
"Start from now" is a great attitude
