I have been super-busy for so long I forgot how to relax.
With my shoulder injury I haven't even mowed the lawn in 3 weeks.
Getting looks from the neighbors.
Not really but I do feel somewhat guilty.
I can go to the pool and swim around but I can't mow the lawn?
What's with that?
I'll tell you what, I just want to hang around and entertain my 2 daughters is what.
The six year old joined the swim team and I love taking her to the pool. We have great fun together.
I swim underwater and she stands on my back like a surfboard, but I always make her chase me to catch me first.
We get a lot of swimming in.
I don't take full strokes because of shoulder limitation, but lessoning down has made me realize how much of my kid's lives I've missed.
Going to change that.
Course, I'm about the only Dad that goes to morning swim practice, and you'ld think it was cool, but the mother's sit around gabbing and it drives me nuts.
I go sit by myself but they always seem to set up their chairs near me.
Occasionally one will walk close enough just to say "Hi?" Lol, whatever.
Also, I can't find my IPad so I can't even blast over them with my headphones.
Oh well, whoever said that doing nothing was easy?
 
Someitmes we get carried away with so many un important little things that we forget what the Important things are in life,,,,
Its not how many fun vacation trips away we have , or how much money we make ,or even how many nice personal items we have cars,trucks ,harleys ,etc etc.
Its family ,our familys ,our kids, grannys and gramps ,moms and dads ...This world has went and got itself in a big damn hurry .
Step back from the day to day life and take a good look around .If all your surrounded by is personal items and cash flow then your missing the most impotant part of life....
Family should be first and foremost,I lift at 4:45am every morning to avoid taking time from my family. When I go hunting or fishing I take my Ol lady and kids ,its something that is relaxing for me and the kids enjoy it as well so I cover the best of both worlds .2 marriages , 2 divorces later I am realizing that all those personal posessions I thought I needed didnt mean shit and dont add up to nothing without family to enjoy them with .
Southern values mean alot , people joke and poke fun at southern folks for being slow , inbred and toothless rednecks but let me tell you this ,,,Those southern folks have it figuired out . Family first till the death ,they dont worry bout money ,or what others think of them or even if they have nice shit to show . They take care of there Kinfolk .They relax together . So what if the yard hasnt been mowed in 3 weeks or if the ladies at the pool gosip .....So be it ....Things will wait .everyone needs to just slow down and take the time to chill out ....Thats just my .02cents even if it dont mean shit
 
I like it. Thanks for the advice.
I just got back from mini golfing with my girls.
Your .02 is enough to open a blind man's eyes.
