Life is Good store at JFK airport, Mother’s Day 2011…
Life is good, right? And life’s a bit@h (you know the saying, and then you die).
We get to choose which way we lean.
Another day above ground, it seems to me anyway, is a good thing.

Life Savings Disappeared, Poof
Happy Thanksgiving. We’ll begin this Thanksgiving morning as we have for 11 years, delivering Food For Families. It’s a Christmas and Easter tradition as well.
Finding symbolic ways to create strategic traditions, to teach life lessons.
Without the repetition, the teaching, and the lesson, may get lost.
Adults need strategic traditions to teach the profoundly simple lesson that life is about two simple choices – to be thankful for everything, or to not be.
We were very sorry to see our life savings disappear.
But we are very thankful we had a life savings to spend.

Smart Or Wise?
Today is the first day back to school for many Central Florida children. And all across the Country, students of all ages are gearing up. Many of our friends (the same age) have college seniors.
Some have grandchildren.
We have a 4th grader.
The conversation last night revolved around the fundamental difference between being smart and being wise. Here’s the moral.
Being smart can help you understand that there are low to no-interest loans available to buy stuff. Being wise helps you understand that unless you have cash, you should wait.
Being smart tells you your parents will never know you tried to smoke a cigarette. Being wise tells you smoking is bad news, period.
Thank You For Going
There are people who have so much passion for what they do, they make the status quo look like amateurs.
Not everyone can handle the pressure that comes from such passion.
Some wait their whole lives for it.
And some, well, it’s who they are.
It’s a manifestation of some higher purpose.
A higher calling.
They make sacrifices.
Some unintentional.
Some, unwanted.
Important things can suffer.
There is no easy answer.
There is no “one correct way”.
It’s a two-way street.
This is what makes it such a gamble.
Either way.
Taking risks is risky. And so is playing it safe.
Pick one.
But try not to pick the wrong one.
Quoting Jesus
“Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.
Into your hands, I commend my spirit.”
Got your final breathes ready?
