Random Thoughts Pad

OK so I have been thinking for a while... "I should write down the little things I learn everyday on one of those little notebook pads, so I can remember more, learn more, and reflex more on life, people and whatever else I encounter."

So the middle of last week I decided it was a good time to start... so I grabbed a little Moleskine pad, through it in my pocket and began to write.

So here are my lesson I have learned thus far.

- If you are having a bad day, get over it because someone is having a worse day. Just talk to the people around you... there are all sorts of bad things happening to people everyday. So you can be bummed but keep it in persepective (plus you get to hear people's struggles and their hearts)

- Spend more time with your kids, they love you and need you and need your time.

- To the best of your ability don't forget about people.... better yet don't forget about individuals. They are what is important

- Dave is a unique guy.... in a good way. People want to follow him... watch and find out why.

- Listen to people.... really listen... take the time... stop what you are doing

- Don't ride a bike with no tread on the tires around a corner (quickly) especially on a waxed floor.... it hurts

-Always pay attention to people's body language. You want to know what people are thinking... just watch.

- Even if you want to watch TV... take the time to read to your kids and really be in that moment... it won't last forever.

- Don't wear underwear (especially boxers) under your spandex on a bike ride... it hurts.... a lot.

- Your kids are special but don't put them before all other kids or they will be a brat. Remember they are just kids.

Thats all of now......

Unique??? I wonder what that means?

I'm glad my name was in the same post as you wearing boxers under spandex. Maybe that makes me unique.

Thanks for the smiles and a few good thought to ponder and your a right, your kids don't stay kids for very long at all.
