December 7th, 2021

 The older I get the more past I pile up. The past is good, but it’s where it belongs.

I have twenty nine summers and thanksgivings to celebrate. I have thirty Christmas seasons to enjoy. Thirty more New Years Eves to avoid.
That’s the motivational tool that I’ve learned to use. If I can bang out thirty years, that will get me to 2051 and the ripe age of eighty five. Anything after that is either a bonus or God making me wait it out.
My responsibility is to raise my children and make them better than me. Basically leave the world a better place than when I showed up.
My responsibility to people is to cross their path without splashing mud on their outfit.
My responsibility to me is making sure I can put my socks on in 2051 without falling off the end of the bed.
Look at the past and history as two different things. You got drunk at your high school prom… that’s the past. Japs attacked an American military base in Hawaii… that is history!
Laugh at the past, Learn from history….
