Hello all!
Today is a tough one for me. I just found out that a great person passed on. His name is Brian. Brian was a guy I went to school with. He was a bit older than me but always treated me like an equal and not some younger idiot. He sure could have, I was at times. We had some great times together. He had this great red Jeep and one night we were going into Portland with the top off. We went about 115 mph. Oh, and no doors either. Crazy I know but damn what a thrill. He had the thing all tricked out and he used to set off car alarms with the rumble it put out. I haven't seen him in years and man it makes me sad to know hes gone. Silver lining???? Well, I tell you what, I have nothing but great memories of him. I know I've said this before but all we can do in this life is hope that we have a positive impact on others. Brian sure did. I said a prayer today for him and I hope God treats him well. He deserves it!
It could be worse:
I'm just gonna say that every time a friend or loved-one passes on, I think I better get off my ass and get some shit done that I've been putting off. We're still alive! Let's enjoy every minute!
Life Coach:
Everyone should wake up and thank God that we get another day! Enjoy your kids (like mine in the picture above celebrating after a goal), spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend or whomever! Consider this, what do you really want to do? Heck, just go do it! I was just talking to a friend who was frustrated with a person that wasn't treating her very well. I told her that there are only 2 types of people, builders and destroyers. You have the choice to hang out with the builders and let the destroyers negatively effect someone else.
Homework:
Make a bucket list! Ten things that you want to accomplish!
Here's a start of mine.
Learn how to play the acoustic guitar
Own a home so I can buy a dog
Move to someplace warm
Write a book
Fish the amazon for Peacock Bass
Go to Argentina and hunt ducks and doves in the spring
Get in shape and go to the boundary waters for a week long canoe trip
Stay drunk for one week (I have a good shot at doing this one)
Become a motivational speaker
Win an argument with Eric and have him admit I was right.....in writing!
Please share your bucket lists with me. Maybe I'll publish them here!

Anyone who knew Brian knew that he lived his life to the fullest....sad, sad times.
