“My tough times would be a dream for anyone else.”

What a great quote:

“My tough times would be a dream for anyone else.”

I heard this today from Geno Smith, the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. Indeed, Smith has been through some “tough times” as a professional athlete. He’s struggled in a career of ups and downs, but has played far better than anyone expected this season. Smith was recently asked about the “tough times” during his career. His answer was beautiful.

We are reminded that our lives are often a matter of perspective. Many of the problems we face would be a dream scenario for other people.

Something to think about and remember.

Why Touch Matters

“I think touch remains way too little understood and rarely appreciated. It’s scarcely given to those who probably need it the most.”

30 Years Ago Today

Thirty years ago, Marieta and I stayed in Holland for a few months. Her brother lived in Eindhoven, a Dutch city near the border with Belgium and Germany. We took these photos in Nov. 1992.

Those were great days and even better nights. When I think back on those moments, that might have been the happiest time of my life. Well, except for one other moment.

As to my happiest time, my hope is — I still haven’t lived it yet.

Isn’t that a joy to anticipate? Let’s all hope tomorrow is a better day than today and yesterday. And if tomorrow turns out to be something better than where we are now, then that’s something to celebrate.
