TGIF!

I love the weekends!

don't you?

I didn't always...

once, many moons ago,

I had to work almost every weekend.

It was a good job, 

some even considered it a 

"dream job"...

but it took me away from

those that I loved the most...

So,

it had to go...

I grew up and no longer wanted 

the "good life" that took me to 

exotic places...

I wanted to enjoy 

the very special

"quiet moments"

a popsicle with my son...

my dog licking my feet...

the sun warming my face....

my father's stories...

my mother's meatloaf....

laughter with my girlfriends...

all of it could not wait 

not one more minute

without me.....

So,

enjoy where you are planted....

Take care of YOU this weekend!.....

A visual expression of love.....

Please indulge me.....

this is a powerful video.

A friend sent it to me....

and I cried....no sobbed.

It is powerful.

Now,

I don't want to get into a 

discussion on faith, ethics, or politics.....

What I see here is 

LOVE.....pure and simple.

If you do not have a 

tissue, don't even think about 

watching this....

As the Beatles said...

All you need is love.

Father....

I am so grateful for my father....

His guidance....

his honesty...

his trust...

his love...

I now realize how lucky I truly am...

Today I am having him over for dinner...

along with assorted family from both sides,

but it is he that I am the most grateful for.

Happy Father's Day!
