Dance in the rain

Our friend Ty Boyd sent along a great quote recently.
“Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass.
“It’s about learning to dance in the rain!”
Dancing in the rain is a great metaphor for coping.
Remember when you were a kid?
What a kick it was to run in the rain?
It was a summer cooler, like a run through lawn sprinklers.
And stepping in puddles which your mother abhorred.
“You’ll ruin your new shoes,” she would say.
As much as we tried her patience, she always forgave us.
Our mothers were molded in the image of God.
They were 90% patience, bless ‘em.
Ty asked if I would be at the NSA convention in Orlando.
NSA is not the National Security Administration.
Nothing that sexy. It’s the National Speakers Association.
I’m sorry I’ll miss Orlando. Just too much to do here.
Three books in the works and a new membership program.
Ty will enjoy it. He’ll get a lot out of it, too.
He’ll come home excited about new ideas.
He’ll make a list. And get to work doing what he loves.
That’s what all of us should do every day of our lives.
Get excited. Make that list. Prioritize it.
And get to work . . . doing what we love.
