Detour

We took a detour on our way to Disney World to visit the site of the oldest settlement in North America. St Augustine, FL.

We just went to one site, an old fort whose name escapes me at the moment. I bought a souvenir refrigerator magnet with the name on it. When I fish it out I’ll share it.

We are back on track now though. We are about an hour away from tonight’s hotel.

We haven’t even reached our first destination yet and it’s already been a great trip.

  • Saying the absolute wrong thing at the utmost inappropriate moment

You Can Have it All… Or Can You?

Daily writing prompt
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
View all responses

It’s 12:02am here in the Eastern United States. My alarm is going to go off in less than five hours. I don’t know when I’ll have a chance to write a post again, so I am doing it right now. Finishing something early? Me? No way!

Having it all. Do I have it all? Could I, if I don’t?

I have a wife whom I adore. Two step kids whom I adore. A job I enjoy that I am also not too terrible at. A house, two cars, two cats, four Gibson Guitars, and three Fender amplifiers. When you put it like that… what else is there? Yeah, I kinda have it all.

Then again, my house is not on the Pacific coast of San Diego, CA. My cars are nice, but they aren’t luxurious. My cats are freakin’ nuts. My salary isn’t in the Nine to 10 figure range. I guess I don’t have it all.

The moral of this story? Even when you do have it all, you’ll find something else that you don’t have. So what do you do? Be happy with what you have. Life will be so much better if you do.

Philosophy for the win, babie.
