Happy Father's Day

6/19/2016

Today is Father's Day. I hope all those performing that role are having a great day.

My Dad passed away way too soon. When he left this realm, I was already a well-balanced adult, but I still miss his advice and his sense of humor in the face of difficult times.

Thanks to my Dad:

I know how to play chess.

I know how to play poker.

I know how to see situations many moves ahead.

I know how to bluff.

I know being a bully is a bad thing.

I know that initially treating all people with respect is a good thing, no matter their race, religion, or other differences with me.

I know how to fight to defend myself, and to put bullies in their place.

I know the only way to fight is to win. Except maybe with your friends; in some of those cases playing to a draw might do.

I know the actual definition of winning is not always obvious.

I also know what is important is also not always obvious.

I know how to love.

I know how to "shake it off".

I know that good health is a precious commodity.

I know for certain "life isn't fair".

I know that a good dry sense of humor is a stepping stone to good mental health.

I know that none of us get out of here alive.

Thank you Dad!
