Something to chew on...

Have you ever sat and thought about what it would be like to be homeless? To have absolutely no one to turn to, and nothing to fall back on? I have been thinking about it a ton lately...

I realized that I am deathly afraid of being homeless. Not because I wouldn't have a place to stay, or a car to drive, or even some food to eat. I thought about it and I think the worst part of being homeless would be that everyone acts like they don't see you. I am guilty of this from time to time, but for the most part I try to make eye contact, and give a simple hello. But imagine if everyone that walked by you avoided you...Either by picking up their cell phones, looking or walking away, it would be devastating.

So I say appreciate what you have...Be it good or bad, at least you have something.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
