Some of you know that I have misplaced my wedding ring a while back. I have even asked for your advise whether to buy a replacement or get a substitute ring and you guys delivered!
Well, the verdict is in.
I've decided to get a "Sub-Ring"...not a permanent replacement but a nice substitute.
The Aldo store near us didn't have my size so Karen ordered one for me online.
So we waited.......and waited.......and waited.......and waited.
Then it CAME this past Tuesday...YEAH!
It almost brought a tear to my eye when my beautiful and wonderful wife placed that ring on my finger.
It feels weird and good and nice and awkward and different...all at the same time.
I'm glad to finally have a ring on my formerly naked wedding ring finger...but I still miss my original one.
...the search continues.

...and away we go.
that is all for now...carry on.
Have you ever noticed that the people who have the strongest or loudest opinions about "anything" are usually the ones who aren't doing or haven't done "anything"?
They are usually the ones who are also grossly misinformed, uninformed or both and yet claims to be an authority of the aforementioned "anything".
The same people will also, for the most part, shove "share" their opinions on to others whether or not they've been asked to.
It's always easy to be an arm chair quarterback on Monday nights when you don't have a few 300lb linemen wanting to crush you...when you don't have the pressure of time and timing hovering over your head...when you don't hear 70,000 fans screaming their guts out all at once...when you don't have to lose your job or answer to anyone if you throw an interception...when you don't have the perspective of the quarterback himself...when you're not in the game.
It's easy to say "you know, if I was driving this car I'd do a better job than that driver" while sitting in the backseat...not having the drivers perspective or seeing what the driver sees.
It's easy to take pot shots at a target that's already big, growing and moving...specially when you're small, stagnant and static.
Whatever happened to the old adage "walk a mile in someone's shoes..."? Passing judgment and ridiculing someone seems to be the norm nowadays.
I guess it's easier to complain and bellyache about someone or something rather than actually doing something about it. It's easier to proclaim loudly "this is the key to success" when you haven't even located the "door".
"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion" right? Right...but being entitled to an opinion doesn't make that opinion right, good or true! Opinions are like armpits...everyone has a couple of them and it usually stinks.
"Ignorance is Bliss"
I don't ever want to attain that level of "bliss" simply because I chose to be "ignorant".
...I choose wisdom...
...I choose love...
Proverbs 10:19
When words are many, sin is not absent,
but he who holds his tongue is wise.
Proverbs 11:12
A man who lacks judgment derides his neighbor,
but a man of understanding holds his tongue.
Proverbs 17:28
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent,
and discerning if he holds his tongue.
Since it's the 1st of November I thought I'd reminisce a bit about the "FIRSTS" my boy T has had this past couple of weeks...
