Words of Wisdom



My parents posted this excerpt from Dragnet to their Facebook page recently.  I found the message incredibly insightful.  Something that I find difficult in my life is to keep things in perspective.  Experience matters.  And, it makes a huge difference on how we view the world and our everyday lives.  If we don’t go through hardships, we would never appreciate the good things in our lives. 

Yeah, there are days when I seriously hate my job.  But, when I stop and look back at all of the horrible jobs I’ve had in the past, my job, even on a really bad and stressful day, is really great.  I actually enjoy what I do.  And, for the first time in my life I feel like I have a purpose and contribute to the business of my company. 

Instead of looking at those stressful days, where it feels like the whole world is against you, as a bad day.  I plan to look at those days as a day of personal growth, and be grateful for the experience.

Blessed

  Ahh… the holidays are officially here and in full swing.   I had the most lovely visit with my family over Thanksgiving.   I am so blessed!!   We ate way too much, watched way too much football for my taste, and really just hunkered down for a couple of days enjoying each other’s company.   I didn’t even mind all the stuff everywhere.   J   I felt sad and lonely after everyone left on Saturday.   Luckily, I’ll get to see them again in a few weeks!!   There were many lessons learned over those couple of days.   For one, I need to maintain a healthy and active mind.   I also, need to stay on top of my hearing and monitor the progression of loss.   After being around my parents for a few days, I see my future, and I’m screwed.   LOL.   I paid attention at how my parents and my sister and her girlfriend interacted, and I can see evidence of the importance of maintaining open communication, and remaining fr...
