And Winter is Here

So much snow...it's kinda strange.  And I had to shovel the drive and walkways.

2010-  Dave had grown back some hair and was trying to get me to think that figure skating was no longer on TV.  He also started using CPAP.

2011- Snow!  There was snow in the beginning of February last year to.  And there was the Super Bowl last year with Green Bay playing.

Hopefully this weekend most of the X-mas stuff will be put away.  Last weekend I worked on it but then ran across a box of Dave's things his mother had given him years ago.  Lot of boyscout stuff, high school programs, baby teeth and old concert ticket stubs.  It was so fun to go through and I took it to the Maki's super bowl party.

Last Tuesday I went to Lori's Place for the 3rd time.  We watched the movie "UP".  I had never seen it and I'd recommend it.  A widower tries to hold on to everything old in his life and then starts an adventure his wife had always talked about.  New friendships develop over the story, but he's not taken in at first.  In the end he chooses his home over saving one of these new friends and my heart just sank.  Then he gets another chance and does the right thing.  That was the message I took away.  I can make mistakes and I'll get another chance.  Please forgive me....

peace, love, groove

  1. Little Lee, you could never make a mistake. You might detour into a dead end at some point, but then you just back out your little Rav4 and get on a different road.

    Interesting thing about CPAP: I remember telling Dave I couldn't handle it when I tried it for a few months and he agreed. I went back to it about a year ago and for some reason it took and I haven't looked back since. I now have "happy wife" and can sleep in the same bed with her.

    I guess there might be a lesson in there that if things don't work out the first time, you should revisit it later to confirm.

    PLG!

  2. That’s what the accident did for me bring on second chances and it is chances. You have to put the risk in and make the mistakes; those lessons are there to get you around the wrong turns. Life seems to reward people for their mistakes. That is part of the new winning strategy to factor them in for growth. It is also percentage thing as you have to redefine what winning is! We are getting older but in unprecedented times.
