“Every day above ground is a good day,” I heard the other day in some context and it stuck with me. Every day above ground, every day living on this earth is better than not living. At least I can say this for myself. When times get tough or I look at the option of not being alive, I think - man I am lucky to be alive. I am grateful for my life, friends, family and the life I lead.
I think about this more as I get older, but life is too short to screw around. I have limited minutes in the day, days in the month, months in the year, etc. I need to spend it doing things that make a difference and leave a legacy in everyone I come into contact with. A life worth living demands a legacy - and that is what I think about all the time. When I come into contact with people - do I leave something that will have value for them, whether it is a thought, a hug, advice, or whatever? I think about that a lot lately. What kind of legacy am I developing? Would people come to my funeral or would it be lonely? Thoughts…  JVD
Can I have a hug…what’s the scoop…Golf at least 2 times this weekend. Also Fremont invited me to go out and watch people kick 2 kinds of dog crap out of each other. I invited Fremont to come golf with us. So let’s talk…
Your funeral will be jammed pack, of this I am quite sure……but I am hoping it won’t be for at least another 60 years and I hope I go with you.
