The sayings, "knock on wood," "one, two, three, jinx,", "don't count your chickens before they hatch," and so forth... well I should start out my posts that way.
I have had better mornings; I have had worse mornings. I do have one boy at school, reluctantly... but delightfully just a few hang ups. However, I have a tired teen. One who I will NOT let get into the pattern of do-what-I-want-and-burn-the-midnight-candle, only to unable to pull his body from his comatose state in the morning. Let us just say been there done that, and I know how the story ends. And we are rewriting this year. No repeats.
And as I write, he has emerged. Already a light year of improvement. So let's roll. Oh... that is good, that is what I should start my posts with.... Let's roll, it is a new day. Because, that is life... go with the punches, tackle what comes your way.... and do it all over again the next day.
Yes... I do remember where that phrase was coined. Todd Beamer, fight 93. The last words heard over the phone, as him and fellow passengers stormed the cabin and thwarted the terrorists plans. "Are you guys ready? Let's roll."
And come to think about it, 9/11 is tomorrow. Geez... all the sudden, my problems seem so trivial and I have so much to be grateful for.
Are you ready? Let's Roll...
