Tough Love

It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill


These are unchartered waters and unprecedented times that we live in , but we can not use that as a crutch to justify quitting or giving less than we can. It is in the face of adversity that out truest colors emerge, we must get up everyday , trudge back to the office or place of work , and give our best effort, even if there are no carrotts being dangled, or guarenteed success at the end of the day. I used to drop a C note in PC's @ happy hour, drinking delicious bottled beer, ordering dinner to go and taking car service instead of walking 4 blocks home......Now? i drink canned beer on the steel wheels express out of a plastic cup.......and love it.
You find joy in everyday, make the most of what you have and ask the Good Lord for help in recoginizing the good, instead of lamenting over the bad.

There is no blueprint....no master script to tell us what's supposed to happen, it is what we say it is......it is what we make of it.....As Herb Brooks Father told his son as they watched the US Mens Hockey Team ( of which Herb was the last man cut)win the Gold Medal in Squaw Valley........"Well Son , It looks like Coach made the Right Decision"

Nostalgia is reserved for one night a year ...Sweater Nite.....for 24 hours we are allowed to wistfully yearn for yesteryear, when the Players, the Jerseys, The Stadiums, The Big Beers, the announcers, the total atmosphere WERE BETTER.

After that it's back to work my friends.....we may drop dead at the desk someday, so don't waste today worrying or planning for tomorrow......get out there and live...the world needs ditch diggers too.

In closing I am forced to add one more quote from Sir Winston.

Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash.
Sir Winston Churchill
