plays well with others


Recently watched "Into the Wild" the story of Chris McCandless's life journey. In the movie he writes the words happiness isn't real unless it is shared. Those words have stayed with me... When we are young we are taught to share yet as we grow older we tend to become selfish at a time when we have more to share? I think we all need to go back to preschool days when the report cards reminded us reminded us to play well with others and share.

forgive sounds good...forget I don't like I should..

Ever have someone do something to you that you didn't think you could ever get over...
maybe they muttered ill will toward you, or lied, broke a promise... I was talking to my buddy Luke Lowes and he told me about his pastors most recent service Pastor says write down each person you have not fogiven onto a potato now carry that bag of potatoes around with you wherever you go and by the end of the day you will not want the burden of carrrying around that bag so you will forgive...in that moment I realized that sometimes in life people are going to have there own fears and you can't change that so why carry around all that weight? Today I learn to forgive...weight lifted.

Pooh, Poo or just plain Sh*!



"Well" Said Pooh, "what I like best..." and then he had to top and think. Because although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but didn't know what it was called. - Winnie The Pooh

It hit me when I was picking up my dog's poo... Happiness. 
Why then why? Simple... I was at the start of walking my dog and walking my dog makes him very happy and him being happy is a basic abc to my happiness. 

There are moments in life right before you get the sweet stuff that we should learn to enjoy...even if that means putting up with some Sh*!
