Today I spent some good time with my Dad. We always have some great conversations which always show me how wise and experienced in life my Dad is and how much I still have to learn, good stuff. We stopped at the home of my childhood, where I spent most of it and it’s incredible how little things I saw could stir my mind and bring memories from my childhood. Something so simple as a stained floor, a plant pot or a tree can just stir your mind and remind you of times when life was not as complicated, and it felt good. But even though I am a grown adult now and life is harder than it used to be in many ways I am thankful for what I’ve seen and been through, good times and bad times, it has all made me the man I am now and will help me in becoming the man that I am to be. I think I’ve always been a very optimistic person, I like to see good and purpose on every situation on every hardship as difficult as they may be. As I have written before, 2009 has tested me on that and right now I’m thinking about it. No matter if I don’t know where I am going, what I’m doing, or what I will do, It’s all good.
There is always a bigger picture… and I am not the one painting it.
Here are some of the photos of my trip so far… The property where I grew up, My Aunt’s Christmas wonderland, some great food, My dad flying his airplanes, My brother, Thanksgiving, my Grandma and me on my Mom’s pink snuggie.
