So, here we go. I'm having a grey day and decided I should do something I've never done before. I thought of my dad today. It made me smile thinking of what my dad would say to me if he were here. He passed away 12 years ago, but his spirit lives on.
When I was little I used to stand in front of the fridge and stare into it when I was hungry, (which in my case was about every half hour). My dad was a man of few words. He would often get his point across by merely clearing his throat. This was a clear indication that he was not pleased with whatever it was that you were doing...like standing in front of an open refrigerator...and staring.
Eventually dad would say, "Just DO something, even if it's wrong!".
Do something. Pretty simple. Most people don't reach their full potential in life. Most regrets are not of things that were done, but rather those things that weren't. Don't wait for something to happen, make something happen. Do something. Even if it's wrong. Heck, if it's wrong, at least you've learned a lesson. Not sure where this will take me, but at least I have one cheerleader on my side. (thanks Jen)
What something have you done today? Tomorrow is a new day. (Howard would say it's a mystery) Oh, the things I could write about Howard-isms! Now there's another dad that makes me smile.
Go on, get along now, and do something...even if it's wrong.
