Shut Up…your life’s not that hard

I just spent four days in Whistler BC for a conference, which in it’s self was a good time. I was not feeling all that well, must have been the altitude not the liquor I’m sure. There was the usual meetings with the vendors and a lot of information passed on to us that we are supposed to forward on to our stay yadda yadda yadda. It is always great to meet up with those people that you met on previous occasions or have conversed with via email. The biggest most rewarding thing that I got from the time there occurred on the last day during the awards banquet. We were lucky to have Warren Macdonald www.warren-macdonald.com come and talk to us. I’m not saying any more than that, I could tell you myself but you’re better off checking it out yourself. Frankly I’m buying the book for my family.

NO MORE REGRETS…If possible

I find myself doing a lot of talking to myself this past while, and I’ve come to a conclusion. I want to be my father… well not completely he was over weight and not fully bald, couldn’t have just shaved that ring off his head. He did however teach me a few good lessons that I hope I can teach my boys. You don’t have to be perfect, thankfully, but there are somethings that you should be.

1. Be Happy -be happy in life, be happy in love, be happy in who you are

2. Be Yourself – the only person you have to answer to is you, if you can look yourself in the mirror without blinking things are OK.

3. Make sure that when your time comes you can look back and smile at what you see.

I’m sure that there are some of these things that my mother taught me since she did raise me, but I fortunately still have her with me so you tend not to associate things like that with her. I’m sure that when she’s gone, not to soon, I will have a epiphanies like this because of her.

It’s a rant.

OK I started this blog so I could ramble and vent when I needed to, so here’s a pet peeve for you. When something goes wrong or you tell someone that you don’t know the answer to their question, why do some people insist on re-asking the same question over and over again. I mean if I don’t have the answer the first time you ask and there is no way for me to get it for you why then do you think that asking me 5 min later I will have the answer then. Its common sense people I’m not just making excuses, most of the time, if I say I don’t know then I probably don’t.

poetry?

confusion
everywhere i look
faces
hoping to see
eyes
what have i forgotten
smile
lights up the room
touches
heart soars
