Smile


When your down in the dumps and feel like the whole world is collapsing, smile. Take a walk and say hi, compliment someone or my favorite find a picture that always brings back a good memory. The bad feeling you are feeling will pass soon just go with it. Don't be afraid to embrace the feeling and move on, even if you do not want to.

Pre-K to Kindy

You are officially off to kindergarten, where did the time go?!? Trying to put words onto paper to express how amazed I am and proud of you I am would be unfair and would not do it justice. Your heart is so big, the love you give so infinite I cannot even begin to explain. I have to admit you do worry a lot and that makes me nervous. I try to encourage you to be mindful and actually just the other day we learned what that means. You were miserable because you thought of how much you are going to miss school and your teacher Miss Y and Miss Kristie. You cried hard and I could not help but feel bad bud happy you enjoyed school. The last day school came and went. I picked you up on the last day of school, we went to eat and I asked you how you liked school. You told me you are going to miss your friends and your teachers the most but were ready to not wear a uniform and meet new friends at your new school. You also told that you didn't make it to purple. There was not one day you ...

Friends

At 31 years old, I feel like I am becoming a grumpy old man because my friend list continues to diminish. I asked my wife what she thought, she said, “you’re becoming a better friend.” She said think about all the “close friends” you have had in the past and now think about the ones you have stuck with or have stuck with you. I thought about it and made of lists of things I loathe and things I appreciate. Here are the 6 ways to be a better friend; 1.         Know who you are. I used to try to get in different friend groups, only to realize I did not like them and ultimately found myself becoming someone that was not me. I want to grow each day and be better for those around me, there is no need to be someone I am not. 2.         Stay true.  Be honest, it is amazing the respect people will give you when you just be true.

Stay True

I hope you know I am always there for you. I hope you never feel like I am not there for you. There are times where I push to make you uncomfortable because you and I are so much alike. Know that when I push/ed you there is a reason. You will find that while it may be painful on the approach it will be okay. Remember to be mindful as you pursue your endeavors. Stay in the moment, try not to predict. Trust yourself, be you. Lately we have talked a lot about just being you. You cannot help if you feel a certain way. You can't help but be you. It may not be the majority or well received but at the end of the day at least you stayed true to you. You will feel better if you be you, not who they want or expect you to be. Try new things, go off the grid if you feel so inclined. Do it for you not for them or anyone else. It is okay to be afraid, but try not to look back and say I wish.
