A Day in the Life

So today, I get to reflect on life.

It is the one thing I tend to do on my birthday, it is a present to myself.

I have lived in three countries.

I have had my heart broken more than once. I have met and become friends with more people than one person has a right to. I can count on two hands, the number of people who were important to me, that I never see or speak with anymore. This always makes me sad.

I have two beautiful daughters and two equally witty, granddaughters.

I also have two grandchildren who we lost far too early.
Sometimes life isn’t fair or fun.

I am married to my best friend. I would do anything for her and probably would…even if she wasn’t my wife. She is the best person I have ever met.

I am loyal and will work hard to keep a friendship alive and viable. I believe friends are a gift from God and should always be nurtured. Often I have been naïve in this regard, but it is the choice I will always make.

I have a temper and a sense of humor; often they are blended together.

I love music. I just never learned to dance all that well

I love sports. I am better at watching than actually doing them.

I take stupid risks and God smacks me on the head once in awhile to get my attention.

Overall, I do the best that I can.

I have no room for lies or arrogance; it is probably a fault I see in myself all too often.

I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat.

I vote from my heart, and if that doesn’t work, for the coolest sounding name.

I have no room for extreme anything.

I rarely suffer fools well.

So there you have it… just a flawed person doing the best that he can.
