This represents my 12th blog of the year and it achieves the goal I set out at the beginning of the year. It may not sound like much to you but after I haven't hit double digits since 2013, I feel good about my B level work this year. My effort has been at an F level for the last several years and it was time to self-correct.
I love to write and one would think if you love to write, then you would do it more often. One would think. I think we all do this to ourselves. We get caught up in the mundane minutiae of life. The elements of life that lead to furrowed brows and wrinkles. The orbits we can't control. And we forget the simple things that make us happiest. Keep doing the things that make you happy. Simple as that.
You might think I am taking the easy way out to get to 12 with one of my "random thought" productions. I don't. I've got a lot of randomness in my head that needs to be put through a spaghetti strainer and ends up here.
Some people really do suck.
The Polar Express is still one of my favorite holiday movies. The message is clear; always believe.
You will have several Lotus flower experiences in life. Remember, the mud comes first.
There really is nothing like walking on the beach.
You can't be an asshole if you are also an idiot.
Blood, Sweat and Tears did understand the essence of life;
What goes up must come down
Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin
Vision is underrated.
Soulmates do exist.
Experiences are much more precious than things.
My Dad was right; smile and the world will smile with you...frown and you are all alone.
Epilogue; The picture at the beginning of the blog is how my wife and I started the year in Iceland. The last picture is us at the end of the year in Mexico.
"Are you in?"
Well, are you?
