Very wise words from Decaf Triple Grande Soy Marble Mocha Macchiato guy. Why I dismissed them that day I don't know. Just like I don't know why I have given up. I have just plain given up on EVERYTHING. Lazy is my first name followed my middle, Apathetic, and finally Grouch. That is who I have become. And I have no idea why it's happened. I could say it's because summer is so unstructured. I could say it's because I lack the alone time I need. But I am the owner of my structure, and my alone time, if I want either, all I have to do is instate the rules to get myself the time, and order I need.
I had literally forgotten everything I was trying for. It's a good thing for little birdies who can whisper things in your ear, when you are blind to what direction you're headed in.
So even though today I read from the Christian "Good Book", to pay my respect to my grandfather, as I stand by his ashes, my tears will be full of joy and pride, not sorrow. He deserves to be wept out of pride, our "Past Commodore". Because you have the choice to recognize the anger in your heart, and act out of it, or you can choose to recognize the joys, and act from them. Now I just have to choose to remember that....
RIP (Papa) James Thompson
