Perspective is Everything

The way in which one views a situation can change the setting of the situation. Recently I mentioned i was at a particular location. I had a friend jump out and condemn the location based on his experience at this location. I will not say if his perspective was accurate or not, but his viewpoint was over the top and off topic. The place I was visiting was helping support autism and help raise awareness for this condition. The location was doing a great service to this cause, and I was helping as a security officer. His explanation of his dealings with their main core business really put a negative twist on the good they were trying to accomplish. The rally for Autism touched many people that night. the place of business helped many people by allowing this rally to take place on their grounds. Before one goes around judging actions and voicing their perspective, see what the entire situation is so you don't seem to turn your own image against a great cause. I may not be a fan of everything a person or place does, but I am sure with the proper perspective, I can become a fan of something this person or place does.

FORGET FATHERS DAY!

FORGET FATHERS DAY!
Fathers day is one of the craziest days we celebrate. From my viewpoint, any dummy can father a child - It does not take any hard work, it takes a small amount of effort, and it doesn't even require a test. Being a father is a joy for some, a curse for others and a distant dream for many. If we are looking to celebrate something, let's celebrate Dad's day. I am lucky enough to have a great DAD. This man is also my father. I do not wish to celebrate him being my Father- I choose to celebrate him being my DAD. This man has taken time out of his life to teach me to fish, shoot guns, play sports, love, respect, cherish, enjoy the little things of life, speak my mind, and shut my mouth when I need to. Being a DAD is much more important than being a father. Being a DAD takes so much effort, lets celebrate DADS week! I am all for this approach. One of those days can emphasize the father part (ok, Sunday it is), but the rest of the week celebrates evrything that goes into being a DAD. I am who I am today because my DAD is who he is. I am my own person, but much of what I value and respect was taught to me by my DAD. Lets all begin celebrateing DAD's week......... After all, A true DAD deserves more than just one day of recognition!
