Today I was out blowing some leaves out of the rocks that make up our front yard. As I blew a the leaves out onto the sidewalk and into the street to for me to sweep up, I thought to myself, "Man, that is a LOT of leaves to sweep up." A voice popped into my head (as it has many times over the years) that said "I don't care so much about much you got, I'm want to know how much you didn't get." Sage advice from my mom that has kept me honest and hard-working over the years.
I only hope I am instilling the wisdom my mom gave me to my step-children.
I love you mom and I miss you!
