Dear Son, Your Father Takes Solace In His Trail Blazing Efforts For You

Willis Tower, Chicago 2009

Dear Son, with just a few more days left in October, and the rose-colored sky of a central Florida dawn coming into focus out our window, your Father takes solace in his efforts to leave a trail for you about what’s important in life.

Every morning for 30 months, I’ve written five differently-themed blogs about Life’s Big Choices. Maybe it’s too much, maybe just a beginning. Either way, if tomorrow never comes, I’m at peace with doing my best.

Joyful Anticipation

Joyful
Joyful

Do you look forward to each new day?

I mean, with a joyful anticipation? Not an awful dread.

This can be challenging to say the least. You have to suspect that some readers may not believe I have much experience with Hell, with challenges, problems, obstacles, fear, failure, struggle, grief, agony, hopelessness, strife, worry, doubt.

Do all of you have a ton of experience with these things?  Okay then, I rest my case. We all do. No one is immune.

Then why am I so optimistic and “joyful”?

Great question.  Some people think I’m crazy. A weirdo.  Or, worse, a fake.

It’s taken like 50 years, but, I’m totally cool with it all. Finally.

One of the secrets to being joyful, is so simple, you’re not going to believe it. And it brings great joy to tell you that tomorrow, I’ll reveal January’s “value”.
