A Goal Interfered With –
A mission to reveal what I have learned. A need to say no to distractions. What have I learned? I can’t say no to distractions. What is my goal? To finish the race, fight the good fight, and keep the faith. Thank you Paul.
A Man of Few Words –
A wish to communicate with the fewest words possible. As a veteran of forums where posts were way too long, I have always tried to keep mine short. I have been told and believe that ‘less is more’. This is long enough.
A Sunny Day –
A time when you can sit in the sun and not get hot. My favorite type of weather. This is how you get vitamin D, which is very important. Eggs are a good source when the sun doesn’t shine.
A Math Lesson –
A store in the classroom. It was just a counter with shelves that a few fathers built with 2×4’s on a Saturday morning. Everyone in all eight grades was asked to bring in a can of food. Using real money, each student would buy and sell two or three cans and make change. At the end of the year the cans were donated to a charity.
A Long Day –
A need to get more sleep. I wish I could get more sleep. Can you reach more nations by posting in the middle of the night? Probably not but here I am with my coffee doing the daily prompt when I should be sleeping. Falling asleep in the middle of the day does not work.
A High School Football Game –
A defensive player with two older brothers. The announcer only used the last name of the player who made the tackle. As a senior, I had a very good game on defense against a very good team. We won. At practice the next day, it was said that it sounded like all three of us were in there.
A Train –
A cooler with sandwiches and beer. Not a high speed train. Fun with the kids. Great with a sleeper. If you have the time, don’t pass up an opportunity to take a long train ride. A picnic on the train can be a real treat watching the world go by.
A Wife –
A very smart person. How do I know? My kids are smarter than me. Even my grandchildren. I need time to prepare for everything. She doesn’t deal with anything until it is right in front of her. Having someone who challenges everything I do is a real asset. Lucky me.
A Strategy –
A way to cope. First I think about what I can or should do about it. A small problem can easily turn into a big one just by overreacting. Ignoring it and doing nothing should always be plan A. Plan B would be talking about it with someone you trust.
