Today I woke up a little late, and Anna and Taylor was already moving in full speed through the morning routine.
“Daddy, should I wear shorts or pants today?”
Ugh. Decisions, descisions.
As I slowly get up to speed, I thought to myself, “As long as there are choices and decisions to be made, I might as well be proactive about it.” So, I started this mental list in the shower: (by the way, history has shown repeatedlthat the shower, of all places, is the place where creative thoughts flow most freely…)
Today, I will be kind to others. Realizing that beneath the smooth exterior, all of us are fighting battles of our own that no one knows about.
Today, I will go out of my way to appreciate people. I will say “thank you”. Many of us have not been thanked for a long time.
Today, rather than waiting to be inspired, I will seek to inspire others. I will seek to encourage people to try a new perspective. To look a little higher, a little further, a little deeper.
Today, I will create. I will write. I will add another another line to the story of redemption that I am a part of.
Today, I will finish writing my song. (wait, that’s what I said yesterday…)
And if I manage to do even a portion of all this, it will be a good day

At some point, you should consider putting these thoughts, stories and lessons into a book. I know reading your journey has helped me.
