Crazy Talk

Why does it seem that everything in life can be so complex and confusing? Example...You are trying to explain yourself (like in this funny video), but babble talk is coming out. She knows exactly what she is saying, but it doesn't seem to come out right.

Or

The moments in your life are not exactly what they seem. You really can't enjoy them because you're entranced in 20,000 others moments and the one moment that is in front of your face is there and gone before you realize it.

Well, I had a moment in Jacksonville this week. I went running one morning before my show along the coastline. During my run something just kinda hit me for some apparent reason. Maybe it was the way the NEW sun was hitting the water or the cars moving at light speed across the bridge or God was speaking to me. I really can't explain it, but I looked out on the water and saw PEACE. Something I don't have in my life from time to time. The calmness of the water, but craziness all around.

I'm going to make a cautious effort to slow down, seize the moment as everybody says. Because we don't know our future and we only have one shot at this thing called "life" so why not enjoy the moments that take your breath away and love the people that are in your life.

you know I love ya, bro! I'm with you, nothing wrong with crying. I also cry when I look at sunsets...and newborn baby monkeys. So precious. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I held a baby monkey while I watched a sunset on the ocean...and then two dolphins jumped out of the water right as the sun disappeared behind the waves. And those two dolphins were holding little baby dolphins. Maybe one of the dolphins is wearing a livestrong bracelet.

The tears are flowing just typing this.
