Walk confidently . . .

The unpredictability of life is one of the only things you can be certain of.

You never know what curve balls life may toss. You can never be sure if bunting or a full swing is in order, but you've got to give either 100% of your efforts. And that home run you're sure you hit, sometimes goes just foul. You just never know.

We named our daughter "beautiful calm," and she is beautiful, and has the capacity to be calm, but rarely ever is. She is a whirlwind of activity and energy, sitting still only long enough to catch her breath before moving on to the next activity.

Our son came into the world after a wild ride down the suicide lane in Marietta, Georgia. The cord was around his neck, he had the worst croup the docs had seen in their years there, and the same went for his bout with Dermatomyositis. Yet . . . here he is, determined and dedicated to reach his dreams. He is healthy, happy, and a gift.

I got a phone call to come help my step-dad after my mom fell and broke her collar bone. I bounced over to Boca and, within a day-and-a-half my mom passed away. You just don't ever know what is going to happen on any given day. Tomorrow is promised to no one.

So . . . today . . . as those little sayings go . . . live like there's no tomorrow; dance like no one is watching; love wholly and completely. We cannot predict the day's events, but we can proceed in the most positive manner possible. Walk confidently into each tomorrow . . .
