Tomorrow we may but today we will

I saw a commercial that caught my eye and I have issues with it. The premise was “the beauty of tomorrow”. Interesting and valid but I live a little different.  From the bible, karma and every other religion based belief there is no promise of a tomorrow. I do love to plan, make list and accomplish my task but tomorrow is merely a hope of things to come. With that I live like today is my last day. My friends and family give the strength to be a better person and my past leads me to make better choices but I still gotta be me and LIVE. I cannot sit around and hope and wish my life away, I am too busy living it. No matter what it is or how trivial it may be I do it today! Why? Cause yes tomorrow is not promised and it could wait but it makes me feel stronger to do it today. I go places and do things I may not do but that is the beauty of doing it. It is not always about you sometimes it is about the journey and taking that step to do it. Try it and today do something you may think “oh I can do it tomorrow”. For tomorrow we may but today we will!!!!!! JUST GO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TAD Directive

As I drove to work this morning and was pondering my next tattoo (which will be homage to the children in my life) a statement stuck in my mind. I want the tattoo to represent what they mean to me and how I want them to grow to be. Then I remembered the TAD directive. Devised years ago to guide me as I did work for Uncle Sam, it’s a trivial acronym that has burned its way into my being. Of all the random stuff I have carried for my life this one has taught and kept me on my path. TAD stands for Think Act Deal. Three simple words but oh do they mean so much more. THINK as this skill is disappearing in today’s age it is critical that you NEVER forget it. Even in that life changing, time stops and the Zen like calm of a life stops everything there is time to THINK. Give it a second and think and I mean really think about it. What will this cost? Where will it take me? Can I live with my choice? Seems like a child’s nursery rhyme but so often we forget that a moment of thought could p...

Close Your Eyes and See

I saw a poster the other day and it said we close our eyes to kiss, cry and dream. Unfortunately it did not sink in until I get frustrated, took a breath and closed my eyes. The wheels began to spin and I began to look back at some of the times in my life which truly molded me. From anger to yearning all of these (good or bad) held one simple tick: I closed my eyes. From birth we are taught to close your eyes and magic happens. Fast forward to puberty and we (thanks to Hollywood and sappy love stories) hold our breath, close our eyes and hope our kiss is requited. Then I began to remember the bad, the conflicts the anger and those times in which the monster looked back at me; and there is it. No matter how bad there always seemed to be that split second of clarity gleaned from my eyes being closed. Then we come to the core of ourselves, the inner spiritual realm that grounds use. No matter what we believe, feel or think we all close our eyes and ask for help. Now I am at a purely exist...
