Lately, I’ve had a lot on my plate. I think I was losing perspective a bit. And then yesterday, Thanksgiving, where a feast was ready to be put on my plate. But just before that, I looked down at my place setting and a very fulfilling thing was there.
When you have loving grandchildren and children, I believe it adds time to grandparent’s lives. Maybe the occasional ache and pain from trying to lift them like we remember lifting our own children many decades ago might create a temporary pause in that excitement. But that is almost an afterthought with the joy they provide. I’m still basking in the fun of the holiday.
Dogs, children, football, multiple grandparents to play with the children, great food, a walk, desert, and a smooth drive home with the exception of a few people who shouldn’t have been on the roads. Life is good.
And here we are today on our weekend (normally off Fridays) and I’m up well before the crack of dawn and knocking out tasks like Mr Judge hits homers.
Time to start working on prints for my next photo project. The town of Ellicott City Maryland. I hope to have some friends and family over during the next month or two to judge what they like best on these walls.
Random Thoughts of the Day
- Just think, if you make one person’s life better today, maybe they will pass it on. And maybe that person will help change many people’s lives.
- Yesterday is the first day in a good while where I’ve said “I’m full.”
- Becoming narrow-minded and selfish makes one lose perspective on what is right and wrong, what is important and not, what to act on and what not to, and what is appropriate and what isn’t.
- The bigger bag of tools you have to get you through tough times, the better equipped you are to fix the situation.
- I hope the younger generation is capable of a slower pace of life sometime in their lifetimes.
- I missed 2 very special people yesterday. They are in my heart and mind this morning.
