Good quote

This is where I am in life right now.....dealing with the results going after what I wanted to do....but it was worth every damn minute....but glad to be moving on and up....

"Don't be afraid to go after what you want to do, and what you want to be. But don't be afraid to be willing to pay the price." --lane frost

Teddy Roosevelt - One of my Heros

THE MAN IN THE ARENA
           Excerpt from the speech "Citizenship In A Republic", delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910 - download PDF 

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. 

Teddy Roosevelt

Good Advice from Bill Pollock

One of my most trusted mentors, advisers, friends and confidant, Bill Pollock, told me this last night:


"Unsure things that become sure are usually settling"


He could not have been more correct!


Thank you Bill!(Popsie)

A strong person is the one who knows how to be quiet, shed a tear for a moment, and then picks up their sword & fight again.

Another William Sell - Tell it like it is quote

This morning Nancy has meetings so I am home with the kids. I was on the computer working and ordering and checking emails and doing Angus Assoc paperwork. William woke up and wanted oatmeal. I said, just a minute son.....

His response....

"Daddy, the oatmeal aint coming out of that computer and if you think it is you need to go back to college...."

Tell it like it is son....tell it like it is....

Another really good Mary Shannon quote from "In plain sight"

This one is very very good:

"There are times in your life when at the end of the day all you can do is turn out the lights, flop on your bed, and throw in the towel, raise the white flag, for some that kind of surrender is hard to even contemplate and harder to accept, but there's a dignity in that, in fighting to the finish, to the red faced bitter end, but in those moments, in bed, right when the lights go out, solace can be found, the very act of giving up becomes a starting point.....you clear your head, you still your beating heart, you navigate the rocky shoal of setting out again. Call it surrender, or serenity, it doesn't matter which, because the thing you never thought you'd do or say, or ever have to face, becomes more than what you have to do, it becomes the way it is......"

Mary Shannon
"In Plain Sight"

Quote I came up with

I normally don't like being mean....out right mean....but I thought of a good "kiss my ass" kind of quote this morning....a Scott sell original:

"you remind me of a brahma cross steer I once castrated....he thought he was still a bad ass....but had nothing to back it up with....."

I cracked myself up on a rough day if nothing else.....

Daddy's 70th

Celebrated daddy's 70th at the lake! He doesn't look 70!

@LargerThanWords: When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.

My theory as well

@DamnRightTweets: I don't regret anything because it's life's bumps and bruises that make you who you are. Without your past, you will never be YOU

So so true

The difference time makes

It is amazing what time does and what it changes. People come and go in our lives, the reason we may not know until many years later.

As in anyones life I wish I could have known 15 years ago what I know now....then I fought change in my life during a lonely and turbulent time in my life...the mid 90s....I fiercely fought big changes that were occurring....my resistance to those changes caused very strained relationships with people close to me for a long long time....my dad in particular.....

I was so wrong to fight to those changes and in the last 10 years and especially the last 5 years those strained relationships have turned around 180 degrees.......if I had only known I would have never fought the change......while the relationships have become excellent and normal....it didn't all come full circle until today.....and it has.....thanks to the Good Lord....

We all wish we could change how we have acted on the past....but again it we wouldn't be who we are today had the past been different.....that one of the hardest things in life to comprehend......

Sorry for rambling...had to get it out...

Have a peaceful night

Mary Shannon Quotes

Mary Shannon is a character on in plain sight on USA network. Nancy and I love the show. The main character has awesome life quotes. Here are some of the better ones:

This one is one I really go by and I could have easily said myself:

Mary: In my experience, holding out for closure does nothing but prolong the pain. Stoics got it right. Lance the boil, rip off the bandaid, man up and get on with it.

“One of the most difficult moments in anyone’s life is when the fog of childhood lifts and we see, for the first time, our parents as people.” Episode 2.3 — Mary Shannon Voice Over

“Perhaps the most difficult choices to make are the ones that deny us those things our heart wants most. Because as it’s been said, “Without reason nor prudence the heart wants what the heart wants. And more often than not it will not be denied.” Episode 1.09 — Mary Shannon Voice Over
