Just got in from seeing Fleetwood Mac - awesome! It took me to a strange place tonight, sitting there watching them. Their music has been with me for my entire life and there are so many great thoughts and memories tied to their songs. It reminded me of the bigger picture and made me realize that for the past few months I have been bogged down in the everyday stresses of life. Sometimes I forget that life is about so much more than that, that there is a greater purpose and that I am more than the sum of my parts. Music generally does that to me, good music - transports me to places that I seldom visit. It's been a great night. It reminded me to pull my head out of my arse and think bigger.
I need to remember that, to teach Olivia to live big, to dream big and to savour the emotional landscape of her future. I hope that she takes after me and is not afraid to go forth and carve a different path in life. I hope that she turns out like me, only better. I want to raise her to be colourful, eccentric and brave yet polished, elegant, poised and as smart as a whip. I want her to be well rounded, witty and bold. It will be a tough challenge but if anyone can do it, she can.
I made a decision tonight (with Ben's blessing of course) that if we have a girl next her middle name will be Gypsy, if its a boy, his middle name will be Danger. I wanted to call Olivia Gypsy but I got vetoed. This time its not up for discussion.
My mind is whirling, I am chewing on so many thoughts.....
