"The Blind Side"

I just watched the movie “The Blind Side” which is based on a book written by Michael Lewis. This is a very moving story, and says a lot about the human spirit. This story is something that was needed in the times that we live in. If you have not seen it, you should. What is stopping you?

To the actors of the movie…you moved me.  To the high school teachers and Miss Sue…thank you restoring faith in those who teach our children.  To Leigh Anne, Sean, Collin, and SJ…God Bless. To Michael…continue to make your “family” proud.

P.S. – I have to say it.  ”Go State!  Maroon!  White!”  Bet you did not see that coming from a MSU grad.  :)

God please keep me and lead me through everyday.  I want to be around for my child.

Amen

Decided to update this post.  I was able to get through the day with no issues with the small one. :)  Also managed to get the small one to go to sleep with out issue as well.  That is one for the Father Parental Units. :)

Cheers!

No Cheers.

Lets face it, we perceive the bad to loom over the daily good that happens to us. I myself am no different. I was just explaining to my wife the current woes that I have at work. She inquired what brought on that exchange, because normally I try not to discuss work at home. However, I had to explain on this occasion that I find myself in a no win situation at work. It is to the point where I find myself dreaming, or should say having a nightmare, about the existing state of things for me at work. That in itself is yet another story.

Why am I telling you all of this? Well, it is to illustrate that the bad that occurs in life usually has a front-row seat in our lives. How often have you found yourself discussing what I would call a “feel good” story of human triumph? Because it is this human triumph and hope that I believe that keeps us going each day. It is knowing that each day we can possibly overcome any obstacles that present themselves to us each and every day. Each day is presented as a challenge, and no goal is too lofty.

Well, I am going to end my post here with an example of what I mean. This is a story about a gentleman who sells mobile phones during the day, and has a dream of singing opera. My human factor wants to believe this gentleman is exactly that…a gentleman. My factor also wants to believe he is a deserving humble individual as well. My human factor wants this gentleman to succeed because I need to believe that I too have a chance to do what I love. To him I say, “Bravo!”

Cheers!

Cheers!
