Why Can’t We Pick And Choose?

Ignore The Hype (BS) and Never Get Bored With The Basics

There are basic requirements to survive. Take your que from nature. Nature has been surviving for eons. The basics work. Never get bored with the basics. Master them. Teach others. Then, and only then, try to do them better: more effectively, more efficiently.

Dear Son, if you ever get off track in life, go back to the basics. Build your strong foundation on mental, physical, spiritual, financial and organizational responsibility.

Death is part of life. It just is. Death arrives all the time. Every day.

Some deaths are a blessing. Some are tragic and break our hearts – so much so that we wonder if our heart will ever heal.

Mostly, I think, it’s the senseless deaths and the sudden deaths that hurt the most and cut the deepest.

As I upload a You Tube video from the backseat of the car, in my son’s school parking lot, I’m reminded of how fragile life is, what a gift it is, and how our friends can touch us with the character of their lives.

I’ll post the video here later today probably. I shot it April 1 this year. It’s a Brooks & Dunn song, sung by a young man born with no eyes, and legs that don’t work.
