Lesson's learned and truths reminded

Life is full of truths, wisdom, stupidity and ignorance I’m realizing it just up to us to slow down enough to realize what is what.

Here’s some lessons from this week, in no particular order. 

• Old men like to talk... and I should listen (no Dad this isn’t about you!)

• When your wife cries your brilliant logic doesn’t mean a hill of beans at that moment, she wants your emotions not your wisdom.  Hug first... talk second.

• Security is an illusion. We fight to keep somethings we really can't. We cannot guarantee our future but we can choose to slow down, identify what matters most to us, and not let today’s present crisis steal from what matters most. 

• Take time to be play. We did as kids, and who said we should grow out of that?

• Sometimes the best culinary creations are discovered the day you realize you either cook it or trash it.

• Shots hurt... especially as a kid, but you get much cooler bandaids.

• There’s a million worse way to start your morning then by standing next to a major highway in your pajamas, holding a cup of coffee, watching your dog poop knowing that in just a few seconds you’ll be picking that up... so go ahead and wave.

• Under-committing doesn’t cause your blood pressure to spike and your hair to turn white or turn loose, but it also doesn’t change much. Balance is hard but worth it. 

• Stop complaining about your work and just do it. It gets done much faster that way. 

• Enjoy today, this moment, this inconvenience, this laugh, this smile, this hardship cause there’s something beautiful in it.
