How was your Holiday Break?

Today was the first day back at work after the holiday break at Tech. Some of my Co-Workers knew of my Dad's passing but not all of them. One of the common questions I got was "How was your holiday Break?"

It's a tough question to answer and after giving many various answers throught the day, i've finally decided how to answer in the future. How Was my holiday break? Bittersweet.

Bitter in the loss of my Father, but Sweet in the fact that I'm FINALLY making forward progress in my life after what seems like SUCH a long time. I've got fantastic friends who are helping stretch me in new and exciting directions. I've got goals I've set for myself (One of which I've got to hurry up and get done tonight... I'm on a roll for Heaven's Sake) to make my Life better. I'm even considering taking up one of my oldest hobbies again once things settle down a bit.

Life is a new and exciting thing for me once again, and I LOVE it!

Update

Sorry for the lack of updates. As some of you might know, arranging a funeral is not a fun process especially when the death takes place out of town or even worse, out of state.

I have learned a few valuable lessons I'd like to share to hopefully make the process easier for those who come after.

1) Have a Will
2) Have said Will in a safe location
3) If you have said Will, be sure it is where you tell your executor where it is.
4) When and where possible, plan ahead.Work out as many details as possible in advance. Keep the planning materials with your will.

Anyway, Things are progressing well. Dad will be cremated and we will be having a memorial for him In early February to allow as many family members the chance to come as possible. I'll be posting updates as possible.
