If you’re a ship and you are lost in the ocean,

I'll be the wind in your sails to give you motion,w

If you are too far out that you can't see the shoreline,

I'll be the lighthouse shining in the night time.

I will guide you home.-

If so, then I have accomplished what I aimed to accomplish.

What Verses Who

I know a lot of stuff.  I've had six or eight different careers and have lived in seven different states.  My varied experiences and the books I've read have given me a vast amount of general knowledge.  I don’t know everything, but I do know a lot.

That is all well and good, but who I am matters a lot more.

Who am I?

An honest individual

A dependable citizen

A trustworthy man

A loving and caring husband

A good friend to some

Always remember this one:

Four Thoughts

-Live Simply

Life is not a race to accumulate stuff.  We should “suck the marrow out of every moment” to paraphrase a Robin Williams quote in Dead Poets Society.

~Love Generously

Without agenda, with abandon, with unconditional energy

~Care Deeply

If you say the words, mean the words.  Do random acts that speak care, not just the words.

~Speak Kindly

Words have tremendous power.  We build up with kind words.  We encourage and inspire with kind words.
