Failure

How often have you failed and felt you learned from it? I've read about this, but I've never had this experience myself. How many times should we fail before we start down a new road? How often do we stay on the path because what we know seems better than the unknown? I don't know where I made the wrong turn, but I do know that if I don't change my direction I'm going to wind up where I'm headed. God, please guide me back to the light. I long for the peace I feel when I'm blessed with knowing your grace.

We have much in common

Don't forget to smile.

I find it hilarious

You find it offensive.

I find it hilarious.

That's why I'm happier than you.

I miss you Gramps

A good friend of mine lost his Grandma to old age recently. It's a tough thing to lose someone who's been in your life that long. Aunt's and Uncle's love you, but I think Grandparents have a special place for us in their hearts. My Grandfather passed away a few years ago and he has had almost as much influence over me as my Father. He taught me the joy of laughter... how laughter brings people together. I love him for many reasons, but his sense of humor and love of laughter really stands out.

As I got older, I became more serious. He would call me at work and I was busy so I'd tell him that I couldn't talk. A day before he passed away, he called me in the office and I blew him off... promising to call him back. I didn't call him back and he passed away the next day. There's no cause and effect there, but I still wish I got to hear his laugh one last time.

I love you, Gramps.
