Thanksgiving and Thankful Living!

It was nice to have a Sunday dinner with my family. We talked and laughed remembering moments for years past. This reminded me of when I was dating the lady who is now my wife. I didn't matter what we did or planned for the date. The important thing was that we were doing it together. I learned that those moments were creating memories. This Thanksgiving I hope you won't get hung up on the details but get caught up in those moments creating memories. Being Thankful is part of my journey! I hope it is part of yours too!

Pay-It-Forward Thanksgiving!

As I journey into November, I look forward to one of my favorite holidays: Thanksgiving! On one episode of "The Golden Girls", Sophia (Estelle Getty) wants to have a mock funeral complete with a eulogy. As a sitcom there were comedic parts of the episode, but the point of the storyline stuck with me. Sophia wanted to know how she was appreciated when she was alive. This is something she wouldn't know after she had passed on. I hope on your journey, you may have a Pay-It-Forward Thanksgiving! Appreciate and give thanks for those important to you by letting them know. Thanks!

Winds Of Change!

Russ Taff's album had a song on it which I really like called "Winds Of Change". As I journey through this life, I've realized that I am in a continual state of change. Seasons are a great reminder of this. October comes in with wind and cooler temperatures. T-Shirts are replaced by sweat shirts. Lawn mowers are having a last run before we prep our snow blowers. All of it is a part of change. I hope you learn to embrace change as a part of your journey! If you don't like where your journey, remember you have the power to "change" it.

Back To!

On my journey, I realize that sometimes the journey means going "back to". Maybe back to school, back to the town I grew up in, back to visit family and friends, etc. Just realize that traveling back to a place, time. etc. is not the same as taking a step back.
On the contrary, you are moving forward reflecting on the times, places, and people that are all a part of your life and make you who you are. I hope on your journey you go back to those moments that make you who you are!

Ease On Down The Road!

On my journey in this life, I am always tying to find the balance between the "fast and furious" road and the "ease" of slowing down onto a path less traveled.
I often ask myself if I am an "actor" or a "reactor". I hope you are the star actor or actress in your own journey and not just reacting to the demands of others.
On your journey I hope you are able to find balance as you "Ease On Down The Road".
