What is my mission? – Asks the daily writing prompt.

Well, let’s see. I need to write to both of my children this morning and get the cover on the car before any rain starts. I’m thinking of someone very close to me undergoing some test so my mind will be there for some time.

I’d like to work on my photography skills today in shooting and editing. I’d like to get some thoughts between the ears to paper or computer. I’d like to finish the book I started today. I’ve got to call the garage for an appointment.

I’m going to pick up the paint brush and put a few miles on the treadmill. I’ve got a few more blog posts to make and then do a little sanding on the dolphin I’m working on for my granddaughter. I might work on planning a short trip and setting up my makeshift studio.

My mission is to smile. To make other people smile. To be a good father and grandfather, to love. To be a good friend, to be truthful and ethical. To have a good time this weekend and maybe watch some sports. To get the fireplace going and trim my beard.

To clear some wall space for a new photo project. Hang a few more hooks in the storage room ceiling for grandkids toys I’m tripping over. Work on some illustrations and order some Chinese food.

I’m probably forgetting a few things on my current mission. The mission is modified day by day because life changes minute to minute. Missions are important, but sometimes it’s also important to let life just come to you. Like if you hear a song you like, get up and dance if so moved.

And if my better half doesn’t like the idea of Chinese food today, I’ll suggest some Mission BBQ.
