Rub it in!!

The new sunscreen that comes in an aerosol type can is really very good. One word of advice... unless you want to look like reverse graftti, RUB IT IN!!! Yes, you can draw on yourself with the sunscreen. It feels very cool and you think that it has covered you, but you must RUB IT IN!!! We came back from our spur of the moment trip to Port Aransas with some very painful, yet creative sunburns. Mark looks like his back met up with Zorro and I look like, well there no good way to describe it... You must RUB IT IN!!!

The Heart of a Winner

This spring we attended alot of little league games to support our favorite player. Their dedication even in a "not-so-winning season" inspired me to write this:

Heart of a Winner

Where do you look to see who won when the game is finally through?
Do you look to the board at the end of the field where the lights shine 5 to 2?

Do you look to the stands to the cheering fans to see if they’re cheering loud?
Do you wait for the coach to give a high-five and tell you – you made him proud?

The place to look for the champion that always passes the test…
Is to close your eyes and look inside to see if you’ve done your best.

Because in the end it doesn’t matter whether you dropped or caught the ball.
The important thing when you look back is did you give it your all and all?

It’s true the game can be scary, but honestly, here is the thing…
Did you face your fear and move forward? You can’t hit the ball ‘til you swing!

Did you work hard and give your best effort? To winning there’s really no scheme.
Just learning the art of doing your part, and working to play as a team.

I know you’ve heard it before, it’s really just more of the same
It’s not win or lose that matters, it’s how you play the game!

So where do you look to see who won when the game is finally through?
Just look inside and know with pride the heart of a winner’s in you!

Amused as a Child

I chose "Amused as a Child" as the title for this blog because one of my earliest memories of humor revolves around this phrase. One time when I was about elementary school age, my mother & I were in a bathroom at Dairy Queen when we heard radio spot on the prevention of child abuse. Well, we both misunderstood and thought it said : If you were amused as a child you will probably amuse your children. For some reason we cracked up for so long and so loud that someone (probably doing the pee-pee dance) finally knocked on the door to see if we were done in there.

Well I'm glad to say I was amused as a child. I don't have children yet, but I enjoy amusing others so I hope reading this blog makes you smile. Life is funny.
