One of those days.
 

Ever have one of those days where everything goes right (for the most part)?


After a bunch of not so stellar days in a row, this one makes up for it.

First, I finally got my entire sales staff to donate their free time to volunteer at the local Community Cafe (only once a month so far). I've wanted to give back on a larger scale for quite some time. It's sort of like a soup kitchen, helping those who can't afford 3 squares.


Second, My 4 year old taught himself to READ today. By himself.He's only learning basic phonics in preschool, but came over to me with Dr. Seuss in tow, and showed me how he can sound out "Sam-I-Am".

Third, my oldest son learned Heart and Soul on the piano today in all of ten minutes so he could play piano with me. I'm kinda jealous of how quick he can learn any instrument I put in front of him.

It makes me smile when I remember to be present and pay attention to the little stuff.

Good day bro :tu

Re: One of those days.
 

Very cool!

Re: One of those days.
 

That's great! :tu I was expecting a grip post venting about something, which is fine, but this was a welcome surprise. :tu Makes my day better knowing my BOTL had a good day as well.

Days like that make all the bad ones pretty much not matter. :tu

Re: One of those days.
 

Pretty great day, Peter! :tu

Sh!t, I'm happy when I make 3 traffic lights in a row. ;)

Re: One of those days.
 

To answer the first question, NO! ;)

But I'm glad you had one, Peter! :tu

You should keep that picture forever. Print it, have it framed (2x), you keep one, when he graduates college, give him the other. It has everything - guitar, keyboard, piano, Christmas scenes, Elmo, Mario, and most importantly, you two looking amazed at each other. Just awesome.

Pretty soon your rub your eyes and wonder what happened, when the little blighters are graduating college/ getting married/ crashing your car.

Enjoy this man, fix it in your brain

It's fleeting......

A great day indeed with many many more to follow, no matter what Neil says ! :sl

Sh!t, I'm happy when Tom makes 3 traffic lights in a row :tu

Re: One of those days.
 

With or without lights and siren?

Re: One of those days.
 

Thanks, and great idea. I didn't even take a look at the other stuff in the picture. That white thing on the ground is a natural hide drum one of my buddies brought back from Africa years ago.

I'm definitely not taking any of it for granted. :tu

Re: One of those days.
 

Great day, indeed!

Re: One of those days.
 

A great day indeed.

Instead of starting a new thread, figured i'd just add to this one.

Went down to the man cave last night to see what my kids were up to. Alex (the older one) was teaching Ashton (the little brother) how to play. The student is trying to become the teacher. :)

Re: One of those days.
 

Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

Cherish these years - they go by so damn fast

Re: One of those days.
 

:tpd:

Vin is right; the years fly by much faster than you think they can.

Re: One of those days.
 

Serious happy memories there, Peter.

Re: One of those days.
 

I have those same pajamas.
