In our youth, we could rarely wait until the weekend to rock out

In our youth, we could rarely wait until the weekend to rock out. So much pressure, stress… excitement, anticipation, relief.

Now here we are decades later…

This is an acoustic version of a rockin’ song…

Mesmerizing lyrics and performance. Happy Thursday.

 

 

Deep, eh? No doubt impossible.

If our goal isn’t impossible, we’re not reaching high enough.

Best logic ever heard on why we dream, from Calvin and Hobbes

Whether it’s family, friends, God, we dream of being together. Calvin captures why so innocently:

I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time. – Calvin and Hobbes

Rock on brothers and sisters, dream on!

What should we call these moments when they happen to us?

Those little moments when we do something that sort of embarrasses us, and we are so tempted to stop…

But we don’t.

And when we’re done, we are somehow gifted with the fact that we may have just inspired someone in that moment of not stopping.

Monday, I saw a father hug his 12-year old son in the school parking lot as the Head of School walked to her car.

You could tell there was a moment when the dad thought, “Maybe my son is too tall and too old to be hugging in the school parking lot.”

And when it was done, a thought occurred to the dad. Maybe the Principal was also trying to stop doing something, like staring and feeling completely heart-warmed and over-joyed.

Weird.

This is a true story. I was there. So was my son.

And tempted again to stop… right here, right now (plowing through it… )

The after-school hug has been a daily tradition for ten years.

Weird.

Be well and remain amazed.

Do your thing that brings you joy. Do it for yourself and those you care about.

And maybe, just maybe, it may be exactly what someone else needs desperately to see or hear, exactly when they need it.

A promise is a promise, so be sure to do this throughout our lifetimes

A promise is a promise, we can be sure of this throughout our lifetimes.

Make them sparingly.

At some point we may find ourselves having made a promise without ever intending to, nor even realizing it.

Like writing five daily, differently-themed blogs…

What would happen if we never skipped a day doing this simple, easy thing?

What would happen if we never skipped a day doing this simple, easy thing?

If we said a blessing before at least one meal a day, say dinner. And never missed a day doing it?

What would happen?
