Many of you around me know that it doesn’t take long for me to express how much God has blessed me.
One of my biggest blessings is no doubt my amazing wife Michelle. I would be nothing without her. Thank you Michelle for being the best wife, incredible mommy and best friend a man could have.
I love you Michelle! Have a great day today. See you soon!
I have an amazing opportunity in front of me.
Olivia on our way to school. That's my little teacher back there guiding me through life!
Today, I had the pleasure of taking my daughter Olivia to school like I do each morning. Even sitting here writing this makes me smile and so happy that I have such a wonderful gift that God has given me like her. I was on my way to drop her off to school and I was on the phone working and when I hung up, Olivia pipped up with some advice for work.
She proceeded to explain a better way for me to of handled that situation. She basically taught me how to listen better and to work with people and guys that work and help me better. I was so struck when she was talking to me. She was so clear and very tender and extremely helpful. I stopped and thanked God that he gave me this little girl that is tender enough to love people greater than I obviously knew how to.
To add to this story, I can’t leave out the fact that she insisted on me calling the person back that I was on the phone with and to apologize and to talk in a nicer manner to them. She said, they will listen better and do the work with a better attitude because they want to. Not because they are forced to. I was floored!!!!!
Thank you Olivia for teaching Daddy this morning. You mean more to me than I can ever express!
Life is filled with all kinds of twisties and turns and ups and downs. We all love the ups and want to stay on them as long as possible. But without the downs, you can’t really appreciate the ups when you receive them. I came across this thought a couple of weeks ago and it seems fitting right now.
“When there are ten buyers and only three puppies, every dog is the pick of the litter!! There’s only one YOU… People need what YOU have… Put your unique qualities on display… People will pay you for it… People will honor you for it…”
There is a lot of wisdom in this. Do yourself and everyone around you. Work hard, be honest and do what you say you’re going to do. On top of that - respect others. Respect yourself by doing the above. In this new year I want to take better care of my body, mind and soul. I believe this will truly help me in all aspects of life…. Hey, who doesn’t want to be a pick of the litter?!
Have a great day,
I have been really bad with my blog. I set out to prove to the guys at work that I would crush them in a blog run - and I sure did - They are weak - see my links to find out more. Anyways - since the birth of my son, I have not kept up with my site here and have let it go to waste. I have been posting everything on my Facebook sight - cause it seems easier etc.
But I AM going to do my very best to start to update this sucker as often as possible. We will see!
If I don’t - I deserve a spanking!
