A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

on
As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow. (As an Amazon associate, I am compensated for qualifying purchases.)

The Race Is Won By Those Who Endure...

on


The human journey is universal, which tends to mean that we all learn the same lessons. I was reading an article about Paul Pierce on ESPN.com that discussed his thoughts about winning the NBA Championship. I found it ironic when I read a comment that he made that reflected the sentiments I made in yesterday's entry. He said, "Life has so many hurdles. Some of them I've hopped over, and some of them I've tripped over. The key is to get back up and finish the race."

My sister and I hung out with Paul in Miami some years ago. He was really cool. While we never stayed in touch with him, I've rooted for the Celtics ever since. I am pleased with their victory. And although his accomplishment outshines anything that I've done to date, I respect the sentiments he expressed in the article.

So, a little lesson from Logic class. I believe that life is about how you overcome obstacles and Paul Pierce believes that life is about how you overcome obstacles. Therefore, I am Paul Pierce. Well, that doesn't really work does it, but you get what I mean.

GO CELTICS!!!
