Another Day

Okay....Just got to work and drinking my first cup of coffee.  I have only two meetings today which is good.  The problem is that they last all day...Man I need a vacation....I am currently working on a MOC Project and learning about Six Sigma...Boring...Good for career though.

So what do you think is going to happen with North Korea and China...I am planning for the worst...

I PLANTED A TREE

Have a child, plant a tree, write a book...that's what Jose Marti said when he was asked what every man ought to do before he dies... so I have my children, and I have planted a tree with them. I still have a life to write a book :)

I HAVE LEARNED...WHAT ABOUT YOU?

I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you learned from them, and less to do with how many years you have lived.

I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others, but sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

REFLECTIONS ON LIFE!

1. Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.

2. I'm not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain.

3. I'm in shape. Round is a shape.

4. I'm desperately trying to figure out why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets.

5. Do you think illiterate people get the full affect of alphabet soup?

6. I've always wanted to be somebody,but I should have been more specific.

7. Ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you, but when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window?

8. Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

9. You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now and we have no idea where she is.

10. I have six locks on my door, all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three of them.

11. One out of every three Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of two of your best friends. If they are OK, then it must be you.

12. They show you how detergent takes out bloodstains. I think if you've got a tee shirt with bloodstains all over it, maybe your laundry isn't your biggest problem.

13. Ask people why they have deer heads on their walls and they tell you it's because they're such beautiful animals. I think my wife is beautiful, but I only have photographs of her on the walls.

14. A lady came up to me on the street, pointed at my suede jacket and said, "Don't you know a cow was murdered for that jacket?" I said, "I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll have to kill you too."

15. Future historians will be able to study at the Jimmy Carter Library, the Gerald Ford Library, the Ronald Reagan Library, and the Bill Clinton Adult Bookstore.

FOR MY DAUGHTERS

It seems like only days ago
a stranger walked into my life...
little eyes filled with fear and doubt;
afraid to meet their father's "husband".

But then, to both of our surprise,
the walls just seemed to melt away...
Replaced by deepening bonds of trust
and love that brightened each new day.

The time we spent together seemed
to fly away so rapidly,
Now you a mom and I a papa

And since that time I've often thought
and wished you mine so selfishly,
And dreamed the dreams most fathers do
that slip beyond reality.

For you have truly graced my life
as gently as the light of dawn.
And so your shadow will always be
in this place


If I could give you just one thing
to help you through the maze of years-
To find the path that suits you best
and keep you safe from hurts and fears-

It would be this...and this I'll say,
"In years to come, I hope you see
To take as yours the smallest bit
of all the joy you've given me."

For richness lies within the heart,
As true gifts do upon this earth...
So hold them dear, as I do you -
As if you'd been my own, from birth...
