Sometimes...

You just have to walk in someone else's shoes."

Cliche as it may be, it's true. We can all benefit by slowing down and taken a moment from our overly connected lives to "walk a mile in someone else's shoes." Individuals are just that because they have walked to and through different places than ourselves. This makes us each unique. Sometimes we meet people who may have stepped in the same puddles and it is easy to relate. Other times we cross paths with souls that we feel that we can never understand, but the latter is not true, only if you want it to be. As hard as it may be, taking the time to metaphorically slip on anothers walking instruments and place our selves in their space in time will divulge a deeper more complex understanding of what makes this individual tick. The process sometimes leads to a revelation that there may be more in common with the stranger than once thought. The stranger becomes an acquaintance which ultimately lends itself to more knowledge and understanding of the journey called life. Carry it forward and we learn and grow immensely from this but it all begins with slowing down just a little so that you have just enough time to try on a new pair of shoes every once in a while.

Celebrated the new solo seat by burning a chair.

This was a thrift store find ~T was going to recover and it stunk and I wouldn't let her bring it inside. It sat outside for about a month or two before the stars lined up (beers and bonfire really) and the damn thing just fell right on into the bonfire. Hate when that happens :)

Snow Day

The quote of the day was lil' man saying "Daddy, I sure do like this day."  Man, I did to.  We just don't get snow like this in the Sip and it was a blast.  Four wheelers, four-wheel drives, a 70 year old wooden toboggan, and a cold beer during what should have been working hours.  Yes, it was a good day and it reminded me how much fun being a kid was.  Even ~T took the little four wheeler out for a spin and was cutting donuts in the mud and snow.
