Common sense

A simple life

October 15, 2016

I’ve often been described more than once in my life as very much like a golden retriever. Just sort of happy and excited to do whatever it is even if it’s as simple as retrieving a ball and bringing it back ad nauseum. Chris Carmack

Hoodwink

October 10, 2016

The famous comedian W.C. Fields used the word hoodwink back in his heyday. It’s not used much anymore but it means to mislead or confuse.

Father figure

October 8, 2016

‘Coach told us that sports…like life, are not always fair. No matter how hard you prepare, there is no control over the final outcome. He said that ‘losing hurts but there’s always tomorrow and a second chance.’ ‘Since mom and dad divorced two years ago, coach has always been the one I rely on after […]

Trouble

Unbelievable

October 8, 2016

What young player hasn’t counted down the clock 3…2…1, he shoots, he scores? Kids all over this great land imagining they are Jerry, Pistol, Magic, or Seth launching the buzzer beater as imaginary fans go wild. A very young cowboy will always remember the greatest last second shot in Rockhurst College history. The score was […]

Navigate

October 8, 2016

The path that leads to your dreams is rarely straight. As much as you’d like for every brick to be neatly laid, one must navigate the turns to reach the destination. Face it, most would be bored silly with the same old, same old, daily grind.

Stretch

October 8, 2016

There are amazingly wonderful people in all walks of life; some familiar to us and others not. Stretch yourself and really get to know people. People are in many ways one of our greatest treasures. Bryant H. McGill

Friends

Belief

October 8, 2016

Sunrise…sunset…may we never forget that in each one there is a clue… a secret in the splendor of every single hue ‘Let there be light,’ You spoke into the great unknown, that one day it would dawn on us that… never do we sail alone

Consider this

Have you considered that if you don’t make waves, nobody including yourself will know that you are alive? Theodore Isaac Rubin

The sea

October 6, 2016

It needn’t always be about competition. Some days there is no fastest time or coming in first. How refreshing….you being you, and me being me. Both of us enraptured by, and in tune with, the deep blue sea.

Loyalty

October 6, 2016

“He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; […]

Pay attention

October 2, 2016

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. George Eliot
