Little boy blue and the man on the moon, when you comin home son, I don't know when, but we'll get together then, you know we'll have a good time then.."
Harry Chapin had his finger on something when he wrote that song. He captured the picture of time passing by and those in your life missing important moments but expecting to have those moments in the future. I'm writing remotely tonight from my Mom's office. When I'm able to come home and spend time talking with my Mom it's always good. It's an interesting relationship. We get older and our relationship has matured some but there is a bond nothing like a mother and her son. "Hi Mom!"
Tonight's blog is brought to you by the letter R. Rambling, remembrance, revolt, rebirth, rumbling, etc. All of these seem to happen at once for me. This year has brought a lot of rambling and rebirth. If I was to take the year and condense it into the major highlights it would be a pretty good reel. A little bit of rambling and rumbling through different cities around the country. A couple of rebirthing experiences with graduation, Grand Canyon Hikes. A little bit of remodeling. Hey throw in a railroad engineer for Halloween and that's a lot of R's. The most elusive and probably the most important is reflection. I've been reflecting a lot this year. Looking in the mirror and looking inward to not only shine as the best person I could be but to also represent Andre in the best way possible. It's tough facing some things you aren't proud of but admitting who you are and working towards being better is what counts.
I told those kids in London 2 years ago something I still think holds true. Look everyone in the eye and have a firm handshake, Be true to yourself, and learn how to dance. They are simple concepts but they hold true for so many reasons.
i know it's a short blog but now I have to run.
Ciao Ciao
