commenced...

since it is the month of may- the season of commencement, might i pass along a few ideas that apply here- to this blog- to this small little business- and to you as you live your life in our little neighborhood of the world. choices are made, and changed, and often made again. in the true spirit of pomp and circumstance around us, i offer three for you.
three choices that have made all the difference in my life. first, believe in something larger than yourself. look beyond your own piece of humanity and have faith that there is something out there greater than any of us can fathom on our own. second, find joy. find the sticky sweet satisfaction of too much ice cream- the contagious nature of giggling children- the overwhelming loyalty of an aged couple- and the unmatched taste of ice water at the end of a hard day outside. there is joy all around. no sense in not bringing it with you wherever you go. finally, cherish your family. cherish what brings you home at night. the comfort of a loving spouse- the unconditional hope of a parent- the warmth of an obedient pet- the innocence of a child. these are what matter as we briefly inhabit the earth. we get caught up in forward motion. we make choices of advancement. capture your own expectations. find your own contentment... and surround yourself with that which makes you most happy.
