Some Hump Day Motivation

Today I went to lunch with my dad and what started as a simple lunch at DQ turned into some needed motivation for the rest of my day (and week).

We started talking about how working hard now really does set you up for a future of having the freedom to do what you want to do, and not just what you have to do.

This turned into my dad telling me some of the practices he has always and continues to follow. To start he has always worked hard at what he does, whether that be a job, a sport, anything. He is always nice to people. He starts out everyday by being positive. For example he told me that he had just filled up a coffee punch card from the gas station that was good for a free coffee. Instead of redeeming it himself he gave it to the girl working there so she could enjoy this. Random acts of kindness are such a great thing in my eyes and something I have tried to participate in on a regular basis in many ways.

It's so easy to get caught up in my own life that it is very refreshing to have an outside look at the bigger picture. To remember there is more out there than just me. It doesn't cost one cent to be a good human being and help others out along the way in this journey of life.

So here's to a great end of this wonderful Wednesday to be alive and a strong end to this work week.

In my eyes they quickly turn from just another boring object to something that can be turned into a work of art. During travel to other cities and states, I especially like to pay close attention to the different masterpieces that lead into someone's home or workplace. I also love what doors resemble. They are the entry way into everything in life. Into someone's whole world that you may  have never known about before. They hold memories behind them and open up for future opportunities. I think by paying attention to the little details it relates directly to the notion in life of it being the little things in life that rea...

Bingo!!!

When I first turned 18 I used to go to bingo. I could finally legally gamble and had been waiting to win some serious cash. So occasionally me and a friend or family would go somewhere to play it, like Big B Bingo. For awhile this turned into something fun to go check out on the regular. One day my mom and I went together. She was a little reluctant about going because she was more in the mood for having a good, rowdy time. I don't know if you've ever been to this venue but it is pretty much the exact opposite of "rowdy". I'll set the scene for you. The people there are very serious about their bingo and it is quiet enough that you could hear a pin drop. Oh well, we still decided to go just for a few rounds. My mom had a drink or two before knowing there wouldn't be alcohol there so our table was already a little bit louder than the rest. We finally got our boards and got a couple games in. All of sudden my mom was asking the person next to her if the patt...
